public abstract class NavigationHandler
extends java.lang.Object
A NavigationHandler is passed the outcome string returned by an application action invoked for this application, and will use this (along with related state information) to choose the view to be displayed next.
A default implementation of NavigationHandler must be provided by the Jakarta Server Faces
implementation, which will be utilized unless setNavigationHandler() is called to establish a different
one. An implementation of this class must be thread-safe. This default
instance will compare the view identifier of the current view, the specified action binding, and the specified
outcome against any navigation rules provided in faces-config.xml file(s). If a navigation case matches,
the current view will be changed by a call to FacesContext.setViewRoot(). Note that a null
outcome value will never match any navigation rule, so it can be used as an indicator that the current view should be
redisplayed.

public abstract void handleNavigation(FacesContext context, java.lang.String fromAction, java.lang.String outcome)
Perform navigation processing based on the state information in the
specified FacesContext, plus the outcome string returned by an executed application action.
If the implementation class also extends ConfigurableNavigationHandler, the implementation must guarantee
that the logic used in a call to ConfigurableNavigationHandler.getNavigationCase(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) is used in this method to
determine the correct navigation.
This method must set the render targets (used in partial rendering) to render all invoking
PartialViewContext.setRenderAll(boolean)) if the view identifier has changed as the result of an
application action (to take into account Ajax requests).

Overloaded variant of
handleNavigation(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) that allows the
caller to provide the defining document id for a flow to be entered by this navigation. For backward compatibility
with decorated NavigationHandler implementations that conform to an earlier version of the specification, an
implementation is provided that calls through to
handleNavigation(jakarta.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.String, java.lang.String), ignoring the
toFlowDocumentId parameter.
