本文介绍JSF2中灵活的条件导航规则，通过实例展示了如何在导航到支付页面前进行条件检查。提供了不同场景下的测试案例，并提出了对JSF未来版本的建议。

JSF 2 comes with a very flexible conditional navigation rule to solve the complex page navigation flow, see the following conditional navigation rule example :

1. JSF Page

A simple JSF page, with a button to move from this page to the payment page.

start.xhtml

##2. Managed Bean

A managed bean to provide sample data to perform the conditional checking in the navigation rule.

import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
import java.io.Serializable;

@ManagedBean
@SessionScoped
public class PaymentController implements Serializable {

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

public boolean registerCompleted = true;
public int orderQty = 99;

//getter and setter methods

}

##3. Conditional Navigation Rule

Normally, you declared the simple navigation rule in the “`faces-config.xml`” like this :

start.xhtml

payment
payment.xhtml

With JSF 2, you can add some conditional checking before it move to the payment page, see following :

##faces-config.xml

This is equal to the following Java code :

if (from-view-id == “start.xhtml”){

if(from-outcome == “payment”){

  if(paymentController.orderQty < 100){
  return "ordermore";
  }else if(paymentController.registerCompleted){
  return "payment";
  }else{
  return "register";
  }

}

The code should be self explanatory enough.
> Note
> In the conditional navigation rule, the sequence of the navigation rule does affect the navigation flow, always put the highest checking priority in the top.
##4. Testing

Different data sets for testing :

###Example 1

public class PaymentController implements Serializable {

public boolean registerCompleted = true;
public int orderQty = 99;
...

When the button is clicked, it hits the "`paymentController.orderQty < 100`" criteria and move to the "`ordermore.xhtml`" page.

###Example 2

public class PaymentController implements Serializable {

public boolean registerCompleted = true;
public int orderQty = 200;
...

When the button is clicked, it hits the "`paymentController.registerCompleted`" criteria and move to the "`payment.xhtml`" page.

###Example 3

public class PaymentController implements Serializable {

public boolean registerCompleted = false;
public int orderQty = 200;
...

When the button is clicked, it failed all the checking criteria and move to the "`register.xhtml`" page.
##Suggestion

In JSF 2.0, there is no "else" tag in the conditional navigation rule, wish JSF team can include the "`else`" tag in the future release. For example,

start.xhtml

payment
#{paymentController.orderQty < 100}
ordermore.xhtml
#{paymentController.registerCompleted}
payment.xhtml

register.xhtml

Moreover, It should include the multiple conditional checking as well, like this

start.xhtml

payment
#{paymentController.orderQty < 100} && #{paymentController.xxx}
ordermore.xhtml
#{paymentController.registerCompleted}
payment.xhtml

register.xhtml
