Description rdelaplante 2007-03-15 21:47:12 UTC 
I want a navigation case to forward or redirect the user to a servlet which
loads and outputs a PDF.  There's no way for me to drag/drop a navigation case
link to a servlet.  

If I edit the XML manually and make it point to a servlet, the visual editor
displays the servlet page name as "ERROR".  

I've noticed that the navigation case will only work if I add <redirect/> to it.
Comment 1 rdelaplante 2007-03-15 21:48:48 UTC 
When I said the navigation case will only work when I add <redirect/> to it, I
meant for a user in the web browser.  The visual editor still displays ERROR for
the servlet.

I noticed that when JSF navigates to the servlet, it puts /faces/ in front of
the servlet.  My servlet still executes, but doesn't behave normally.  

My servlet loads a PDF file from disk and outputs it.  For some reason when it
has /faces/ in front of the servlet, the PDF that gets output is blank.  When
there is no /faces/ in front of the servlet, it outputs the file.  My problem to
deal with...
