navigation problem in jsf

[Marembo Ochieng']

i am trying to navigate from my main.jsp jsf page to other pages through command buttons and links. i have defined the navigation s shown but it is not working. i simply come back to the main page as if page beans are returning null

  
<navigation-rule>
        <from-view-id>/AdministratorHomePage.jsp</from-view-id>
        <navigation-case>
            <from-outcome>case1</from-outcome>
            <to-view-id>/Home.jsp</to-view-id>
        </navigation-case>
        <navigation-case>
            <from-outcome>case2</from-outcome>
            <to-view-id>/Library.jsp</to-view-id>
        </navigation-case>
        <navigation-case>
            <from-outcome>case3</from-outcome>
            <to-view-id>/Subscription.jsp</to-view-id>
        </navigation-case>
        <navigation-case>
            <from-outcome>case4</from-outcome>
            <to-view-id>/AboutUs.jsp</to-view-id>
        </navigation-case>
        <navigation-case>
            <from-outcome>case5</from-outcome>
            <to-view-id>/LogInPage.jsp</to-view-id>
        </navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
  

What can be the problem?

There could be many reasons for your navigation not happening as expected.
1. Validation might be failing i.e., you would've given required="true", to some component.
2. If there's any rendered attribute for the commandbutton/link, then their state should be saved.
3. Each page should be enclosed within <f:view>. Is it declared properly?
4.If there are any html tags used in the jsf page, then they should be enclosed within <f:verbatim>
So check which one is causing problem for you.
