To make use of the RedirectTracker you have to:
Add the myfaces sandbox to your project.
Configure the init parameter "org.apache.myfaces.redirectTracker.POLICY" in your web.xml file, setting the value to one of the following:
org.apache.myfaces.custom.redirectTracker.policy.FullRedirectTrackPolicy
captures the locale, request scoped beans, messages
org.apache.myfaces.custom.redirectTracker.policy.MessagesRedirectTrackPolicy
captures messages only
org.apache.myfaces.custom.redirectTracker.policy.NoopRedirectTrackPolicy
captures nothing - default setting
Configure the init parameter "org.apache.myfaces.redirectTracker.MAX_REDIRECTS" if necessary.
(default is 20)
If everything is correctly configured, you should see an additional parameter "_rtid=" added to the url (after the redirect). This url parameter will be used to find the captured data within the session. Simply adding the data to the session will not work with browser back, reload, multiple windows etc.
