How do I add a URL parameter to redirected login page using JSF 2.0
- by Big Al
I have a question about session timeouts and JSF 2. I have my exception handler working exactly the way everyone prefers but I need to pass a value to the login page. For example, I have a typical login URL - www.acme.com/?companyId=company14 which in turn presents company14 with their own custom login page (using their logo). After they enter the application and do a bit of work, they read an email or 2. The session times out and a session timeout page is shown instructing the user to click Ok to proceed to the login page. How do I add ?companyId=company14 to the URL? I can hardcode it in the exception handler by using this:
requestMap.put("companyId", "company14");
and then referring to it on the viewExpired.xhtml page:
<h:panelGrid id="expiredGrid" columns="1">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText id="outExpireMsg" value="Your session has expired"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText id="outReqMessage" value="Reloading the page will require login."/>
<h:outputText value=""/>
<h:button id="okButton" type="submit" value="Ok" outcome="login?companyId=#{companyId}"/>
</h:panelGrid>
The issue is I can't seem to save the companyId anywhere without it getting wiped out by the session timeout. I'd like to set the companyId in the exceptionhandler using this value. Any ideas?
