Defining Navigation Rules
Navigation diagrams provide additional support for managing the rules of navigation between the pages of your application. In certain cases, they are a useful alternative to editing the contents of faces-config.xml
.
With faces-config.xml
open in the editor, use the Navigation tab to view and draw the diagram. Your drawing is automatically synchronized with the contents of faces-config.xml
(and vice versa).
For detailed information about the available controls and context menu commands, see Diagram Toolbar and Context Menu.
Using the navigation diagram to create the navigation rules
- Open
faces-config.xml
in the . - Click the Navigation tab.
- Drag the required pages (one by one) from the Project Tool Window onto the Navigation tab.
- Use the mouse to draw the navigation lines between the pages. As a result, the corresponding navigation rules are created. (Switch onto the Text tab to see those rules.)
