How to keep JSF flash scope parameters on page reload?

by

I just did some tests in my playground project and realized it’s actually possible to keep the state of the flash parameters even if you GET the page again, using {flash.keep}. That’s how the JSF docs explain it:

The implementation must ensure the proper behaviour of the flash is preserved even in the case of a <navigation-case> that contains a <redirect />. The implementation must ensure the proper behavior of the flash is preserved even in the case of adjacent GET requests on the same session. This allows Faces applications to fully utilize the Post/Redirect/Get design pattern.

Here you’ve got a nice basic test case:

page1.xhtml

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
    xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core">
<h:head />
<h:body>
    <h:form>
        <h:button id="nextButton" value="Next (button)" outcome="page2.xhtml" />
        <c:set target="#{flash}" property="foo" value="bar" />
    </h:form>
</h:body>
</html>

page2.xhtml

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<head />
<body>foo = #{flash.keep.foo}
</body>
</html>

Just open the first page and click on the button which will redirect you to the second one. Then refresh the second page as many times as you want and you’ll find the parameter persisting.

Tested in Mojarra 2.2.6
