I try to navigate to another page with redirect by assigning a navigation-rule.
The webpage I try to redirect to works just fine when it is directly called.

When I set the edirection to a jsp page which simply includes a <jsp:forward page="faces/another.xhtml" /> message in it, I get this following nullpointerexception and redirection fails:

Then I set the navigation-rule directly to /faces/another.xhtml. the redirection is successful, but I get the following warning message:

WARNING: JSF1015: Request path '/faces/another.xhtml' begins with one or more
occurrences of the FacesServlet prefix path mapping '/faces'.

What do you think is the proper way of setting up the navigation?
Thank you very much.

    Apparently you’re already in JSF context. Remove the /faces prefix from the URL.

    <jsp:forward page="another.xhtml" />

    Note that you aren’t redirecting here, but just forwarding the request to a different source. A redirect basically instructs the client to fire a brand new HTTP request to the server whose URL is then been reflected in browser address bar. A redirect is normally to be done by ExternalContext#redirect() in bean’s action method (which is under the covers calling HttpServletResponse#sendRedirect() and then FacesContext#responseComplete()), or by adding a <redirect/> entry to the <navigation-case> in faces-config.xml.
