JSF link to redirect to a page

I am new to JSF framework and in learning phase I am trying to navigate to a different page when clicked on a link. .xhtml file action="#{custSearchBean.redirectToCustomerDetails}">

and the respective navigation rule in the faces-config.xml file.

I get the following error :

In first place, you shouldn't be using a command link to navigate. You should be using a regular link.

So, instead of

<h:form>
    <h:commandLink value="Go to next page" action="#{bean.goToNextPage}" />
</h:form>

public String goToNextPage() {
    return "nextpage?faces-redirect=true";
}

you should actually be using

<h:link value="Go to next page" outcome="nextpage" />

That's all. No bean code necessary.

Coming back to your concrete problem, that's most likely caused because the navigation somehow threw an exception. Look closer at the stack trace, the evidence is the invocation of handle() method of a custom ExceptionHandler implementation:

at com.anixter.web.exception.handlers.AcfExceptionHandler.handle(AcfExceptionHandler.java:117)

Based on the lines above it, it's attempting to perform a navigation with ?faces-redirect=true, perhaps to some error page. The IllegalStateException on ExternalContext#redirect() as root cause of your stack trace suggests that the HTTP response is already committed. This in turn suggests that the exception which the custom ExceptionHandler tried to handle occurred during render response phase. This in turn suggests that there's a bug somewhere in (post)constructor or even a getter method of the bean associated with the target view where you initially wanted to navigate to.

So, this problem is two-fold:

  • The target view has a bug in the template or the bean, causing an exception.
  • The custom exception handler isn't capable of detecting committed responses and blindly attempts to perform a navigation, in turn causing the IllegalStateException as faced.

Once you fix the exception handler (look at OmniFaces FullAjaxExceptionHandler as the canonical example), or at least add a logging line so that the handled exception doesn't get lost whenever the custom exception handler itself fails, then you should be able to see the real exception causing all this trouble and ultimately have sufficient information to fix the bug in the template or the bean.
