Finally, in order to define the Faces flow, you should declare it in the Faces configuration file (
faces-config.xml
)
as shown in Listing 10-11.
Listing 10-11.
Defining the Faces Flow in the Faces Configuration File
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<faces-config version="2.2"
xmlns="
http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee

xmlns:xsi="

<flow-definition id="registration">
<flow-return id="flowReturn">
<from-outcome>/home</from-outcome>
</flow-return>
</flow-definition>
...
</faces-config>
In order to define the flow, you use the
<flow-definition>
tag specifying the ID of the flow. The
<flow-return>
tag represents the flow return and it must have one
<from-outcome>
element; in our weather application, the flow
return ID is
"flowReturn"
and the flow returns when the outcome
"/home"
is returned (which represents the home
page). Now, let's go through the registration pages. Listing 10-12 shows the
registration.xhtml
page.
