Redirection via actionListener not working

I'm stuck with a jsf redirection via an ejb and I spend a day to find the issue without found the problem.

I want to run an action in an EJB and depending of the result, redirect the user to another page. I'm sure the function works without error, I follow the results in debug mode.

I already did the redirection by the same way in others projects but it doesn't work here, in ordre to be sure, I created a very basic function where I have the same problem.

Just to test the function I did an test ejb:

@Named
@SessionScoped
public class testController implements Serializable{
    public String redirection(){
        return "login.xhtml";
    }   
}

and the where I try to use the fonction:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
      xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
      xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
      xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">

    <h:head>
        <f:facet name="first">
            <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
            <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
            <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0"/>
            <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
        </f:facet>
        <title>PrimeFaces Omega</title>
    </h:head>

    <h:body styleClass="login-body">
        <p:commandButton value="test" actionListener="#{testController.redirection()}"/>
        </h:body>
</html>

This is the web.xml config:

</web-app>

I look in the log file and my function works without error but where I should be redirect to the index page the application stays on the page.

Someone could help?

The component p:commandButton does not support action redirect using just a plain String without explicitly attaching a redirect param with it.

If you want to redirect using the action you must include faces-redirect=true as a url parameter in your String.

Changing your code a bit should do the trick:

public String redirection(){
    return "login.xhtml?faces-redirect=true";
}
