Question

I have a navigation-rule like this in my JSF 2 application:

<navigation-rule>
    <from-view-id>*</from-view-id>
    <navigation-case>
        <from-action>#{myBean.goToMyHome1}</from-action>
        <from-outcome>myHome1.xhtml</from-outcome>
        <to-view-id>/myhome1/myHome1.xhtml</to-view-id>
        <redirect/>
    </navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

When I put an h:commandLink in myHome2.xhtml within directory myhome2 that satisfy this rule, the page myHome1.xhtml will display but there are no images on the page. Where they go?
Behind the application is Springsecurity 3 with this config:

<sec:intercept-url pattern="/myhome1/**" access="hasAnyRole('ROLE1','ROLE2')" />

<sec:intercept-url pattern="/myhome2/**" access="hasRole('ROLE2')" />

This look like as if your picture URLs are relative to the current URL path. E.g.

<img src="images/picture.png" />

When you open the page by

http://example.com/contextname/myHome1.xhtml

then the image URL will effectively point to

http://example.com/contextname/images/picture.png

But when you open the page by

http://example.com/contextname/myhome/myHome1.xhtml

then the image URL will effectively point to

http://example.com/contextname/myhome/images/picture.png

You need to fix it accordingly. There are several ways. Use a domain-relative path

<img src="/contextname/images/picture.png" />

Or prepend the context name dynamically

<img src="#{request.contextPath}/images/picture.png" />

Or just use <h:graphicImage> which will do that automatically

<h:graphicImage value="/images/picture.png" />
