Question

i’m making a logout link and this is the code of the logout bean.

public void doLogout() {
    try {
        FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionMap().put("user_info", null);
        FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect("../index.xhtml");
    } catch (Exception e) {
    }
}

in my xhtml page i have

    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
        <li><h:outputLink value="#{logout.doLogout()}">Logout</h:outputLink></li>
    </ul>

my problem is when i get into the page, the page automatically logs me out, its invoking the logout.doLogout() method without me clicking the link itself.

i tried erasing the code inside the doLogout() and just change it to simply a Sysout, and it does invoke the method with out me clicking the link.

Answer 1

oh stupid of me.. <h:commandLink action="logout.doLogout()">Logout</h:commandLink> does the job.
