Question

I’m doing a simple logout and want to make sure i’m referencing correctly to the login root.

<h:form>
  <h:commandLink value="Logout" action="#{request.contextPath}/#{userController.logout()}" />
</h:form>

but i get this error:

/topnav.xhtml @16,104 action="#{request.contextPath}/#{userController.logout()}" Not a Valid Method Expression: #{request.contextPath}/#{userController.logout()}

UPDATE

Right now I’m adding navigation rules from the logout link to the login page and since the logout link is on all pages i need to add rules to allow the transition back to the login page. that seems like a lot of configuration for a simple item. would prefer to just have the method called indicate that the login page the the final destination and hot have to place a navigation entry from all pages to the login page.

Answer 1

try

<h:form>
  <h:commandLink value="Logout" action="#{userController.logout()}" />
</h:form>

beside the fact that you do not need context, you can not use # twice the way you are using it.
