Add Navigation Case Dialog Box

See Also

A navigation case describes a particular condition (or set of conditions) that must be met for the navigation rule in which it is nested to be triggered. JSF's NavigationHandler handles outcomes by forwarding requests to the view defined in a navigation case's <to-view-id> tags.

You arrive at this dialog box by right-clicking in a Faces configuration file (faces-config.xml) and choosing Insert > Navigation Case. The purpose of the dialog is to register a navigation case 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 cases can be managed implicitly, meaning that navigation rules can be determined by matching outcome values with the names of pages contained in the application's web root.
