Dear there was no intention from my side to annoy those who want to help me or to make anybody feel like they've wasted their time .
and as you can see i ve posted the question in sun forum after quite a few hours as i didnt get any response in this forum for more than couple of hours. so i hope this clears the air but i you or somebody still felt annoyed i apologise for that.

thanks for replying Darryl , well i was trying anything and everything so i thought of experimenting with urls like putting /faces and all that. as the url-mapping of my faces servlet is /faces/* , thats why i tried that, but in vain, and no link on inbox.jsp page works except for the header page that is included with <jsp:include/> tag, so i get same output for details and reject outcomes as well. my directory structure is simple , all the jsp pages are at the root directory, faces-config.xml and webxml under WEB-INF and since i am stuck, there are no java classes as yet.

hi there, i ve just started learning jsf , i am referring the book 'jsf in action', and now i got stuck with this navigation problem.
this is what my faces-config.xml look like:-

<faces-config> <navigation-rule> <from-view-id>/login.jsp</from-view-id> <navigation-case> <from-outcome>success</from-outcome> <to-view-id>/inbox.jsp</to-view-id> </navigation-case> <navigation-case> <from-outcome>failure</from-outcome> <to-view-id>/login.jsp</to-view-id> </navigation-case> </navigation-rule> <navigation-rule> <description>Navigation for the toolbar.</description> <from-view-id>/*</from-view-id> <navigation-case> <from-outcome>inbox</from-outcome> <to-view-id>/inbox.jsp</to-view-id> </navigation-case> <navigation-case> <from-outcome>show_all</from-outcome> <to-view-id>/show_all.jsp</to-view-id> </navigation-case> <navigation-case> <from-outcome>create</from-outcome> <to-view-id>/create.jsp</to-view-id> </navigation-case> <navigation-case> <from-outcome>logout</from-outcome> <to-view-id>/login.jsp</to-view-id> </navigation-case> </navigation-rule> <navigation-rule> <from-view-id>/inbox.jsp</from-view-id> <navigation-case> <from-outcome>details</from-outcome> <to-view-id>/details.jsp</to-view-id> </navigation-case> <navigation-case> <from-outcome>approve</from-outcome> <to-view-id>/faces/approve.jsp</to-view-id> </navigation-case> <navigation-case> <from-outcome>reject</from-outcome> <to-view-id>/reject.jsp</to-view-id> </navigation-case> </navigation-rule> </faces-config>



this is the code from my inbox.jsp page.

<h:form> <h:panelGrid headerClass="page-header" styleClass="table-background" columns="1" cellpadding="5"> <f:facet name="header"> <h:outputText value="Inbox - approve or reject projects"/> </f:facet> <h:outputText value="Application messages." styleClass="errors"/> <h:panelGrid columns="6" styleClass="table-background" rowClasses="table-odd-row,table-even-row" cellpadding="3"> <h:commandLink styleClass="table-header"> <h:outputText value="Project name"/> </h:commandLink> <h:commandLink styleClass="table-header"> <h:outputText value="Type"/> </h:commandLink> <h:commandLink styleClass="table-header"> <h:outputText value="Status"/> </h:commandLink> <h:panelGroup/> <h:panelGroup/> <h:panelGroup/> <h:outputText value="Inventory Manager v2.0"/> <h:outputText value="Internal Desktop Application"/> <h:outputText value="Requirements/Analysis"/> [b] <h:commandLink action="approve"> <h:outputText value="Approve"/> </h:commandLink> <h:commandLink action="reject"> <h:outputText value="Reject"/> </h:commandLink> <h:commandLink action="details"> <h:outputText value="Details"/> </h:commandLink>[/b] </h:panelGrid> </h:panelGrid> </h:form>

now navigation from login.jsp and toolbar page which is included in every jsp page as header.jsp is working all right .
but navigation links from inbox.jsp(approve, reject and details) are not going anywhere , inbox.jsp page just refreshes and url is appended by a '#' , thats all it does.
<h:messages/> tag on inbox.jsp page does not show any errors at all.
Could'nt figure out what might be the cause although i am sure i am making some mistake somewhere as the code i downloaded from 'jsf in action' site is working perfect.

any help would be appreciated.
