Redirecting from page with request parameters in the URL

I have several pages that have the same master template, which contains the header with a log out button. When I try to log out from all pages it works correctly except for one - the one which has request parameters in its URL.

After logout (session invalidation), I'm redirecting back to the login page as follows:

return "/login.xhtml?faces-redirect=true";

When I press logout on URLs like this,

http://localhost:8080/WPA_MOVIEDATABASE/app/index.xhtml

then the redirect works fine and I end up in:

http://localhost:8080/WPA_MOVIEDATABASE/login.xhtml

However, when I press logout on URLs with a request parameter like this,

http://localhost:8080/WPA_MOVIEDATABASE/app/movie.xhtml?id=135

then I'm redirected back to the same URL without the query string:

http://localhost:8080/WPA_MOVIEDATABASE/app/movie.xhtml

Am I doing the redirecting wrong or is this the normal behivour for these kind of URLs?

In the HTTP Server Monitor I found out that after pressing the logout button, there was first a POST request to

http://localhost:8080/WPA_MOVIEDATABASE/app/movie.xhtml

and then would follow a GET request to

http://localhost:8080/WPA_MOVIEDATABASE/login.xhtml.

At that moment I knew the problem was in the log out button..

I was using:

<h:form>
   <h:commandLink value="Log out" action="#{userBB.logout}"/>
</h:form>

Changing the code to the following resolved the problem:

<h:button value="LOG OUT" outcome="#{userBB.logout()}" />


A million thanks to BalusC whose tips led me to discovering the true problem!
