Hi,

 

the requestScope is valid only in the current HTTP request. If you redirect to another page, the request is finished, because the client receives a response ( a redirect based on HTTP or javascript ). Then, the client creates a new request to the redirected page, and the data in requestScope is lost.

 

You have to use the sessionScope for this.

 The problem with this is that if the end users opens up several pages then they will get the same session and the same sessionscope.

 And then you will get problems, any ideas on how to resolve that kind of problem If you want to pass information between pages?

If you have just a few informations, you could try to use URL parameters between the redirects. Another idea is to use several variables in the session scope, something like this:

solution is to make our own flash scope bean

 

http://www.bleedyellow.com/blogs/andyc/entry/a_flash_scope_for_xpages?lang=en_gb

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().dispatch(arg0)

can not be used in Xpages "Function is not available in the Domino environement " and they spell wrong on this excpetion........."environement",    "environment"

 

but we can do this

pageA.xsp and pageB.xsp

pageA.xsp defines requestScope param, and pageB.xsp catch it

 

put a button in pageA.xsp

 

<xp:button value="Label" id="button1">
        <xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true"
            refreshMode="complete">
            <xp:this.action><![CDATA[#{javascript:requestScope.paramA="I am requestScope param";
var viewRoot1:UIViewRoot =facesContext.getApplication().getViewHandler().createView(facesContext, "/pageB.xsp");
facesContext.setViewRoot(viewRoot1);
facesContext.renderResponse();
}]]></xp:this.action>
        </xp:eventHandler>
    </xp:button>

Hi,

 

adding xsp.redirect=false to the xsp.properties-file would give you the same result and it is much easier to implement ;-)

I have written an article about this feature here (on german only).

thanks, Sven, where did you find the list of configurable properties in xsp.property? 

 

 

I do believe that the code behind redirect=false, is the more or less the same as manually choosing a page viewroot for rendering

You can find a description of the properties in the xsp.properties.sample-file. As far as I know, the "XPages Portable Command Guide" (available Feb. 2012) will have a complete(?) list of all properties.

The redirection-parameter will affect ALL redirections (f.e. links etc.), not only the redirects you are do with context.redirectToPage(). If set to false, the request scope will work "as designed".
