A standard JSF command component can be used to enter a flow, specifying the flow name for the action.
For instance, if you want to use a link to enter into a flow named
exampleFlow
, you can do something like
the following:
<h:commandLink value="Enter flow" action="exampleFlow" />
Specifying the flow name for the action works because the flow has the same name as the folder containing the
flow view nodes, so the action simply causes navigation to that folder. As mentioned previously, by convention,
the first view node within the flow should have the same name as the enclosing folder. Using this convention causes
the first view node within the flow to be accessed when specifying the flow name as the action for a command
component. The code below shows what the
exampleFlow.xhtml
view contains.
