Accessing the "outcome" value used in the navigation case

Question

I would like to dynamically create a view based on the outcome value used in the navigation case.
How can I reference the outcome value from a backing bean?
For example assume that a page (mypage.faces) can be accessed via outcomeA and outcomeB. I want to know which outcome was used in the navigation case.

Answer 1

Not without implementing a custom navigationhandler.
Alternatively you can also set the known outcome in a bean property and use it instead.
public String submit() {
    this.outcome = "foo";
    return this.outcome;
<h:outputText value="Outcome was: #{bean.outcome}" />
