Add Navigation Rule Dialog Box

See Also

You apply a navigation rule to specify which view should be displayed, based on the value of an outcome produced by the application's business logic. JSF's NavigationHandler handles the outcomes, and forwards them to views determined by navigation rules and the cases they contain.

You arrive at this dialog box by right-clicking in a Faces configuration file (faces-config.xml) and choosing Insert > Navigation Rule. The purpose of the dialog is to register a navigation rule with the application by adding an entry to the Faces configuration file.

JSF 2.0 applications do not require the faces-config.xml file. Navigation rules and the cases they contain can be managed implicitly, meaning that they can be determined by matching outcome values with the names of pages contained in the application's web root.
