Commit Operation in ReturnListener - From a dialog

Question

Hi,
I'm using JSF JSP page in ADF framework.
Here is the page flow
1st page is selecting a row from emp table(Select and Edit).
2nd page is to change the attributes of the selected emp row(Save and cancel button are provided).
3rd page is a new dialog which popups in a new window asking for user confirmation of emp row changes(Yes and No buttons).
First approach:
On Clicking Yes in dialog window, it should commit the emp row, and return back to 1st page to see the changes made.
Not sure, if ADF supports navigation to a different page, rather than previous page.
Incase i try to redirect to 1st page in the listener, it will openup multiple windows.
Any ideas as to how to redirect to 1st page from dialog window, without having multiple windows opened up ?
Second approach:
I tried to have commit operation done in the return listener of the second page(returnlistener configured for save button)
Not sure how to make Commit operation available to a particular page.
Here is the code for the same:
public void returnFromDialog() {
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("Commit");
Commit operation is not available in the second page(Edit page).
Any ideas as to how to make/bind Commit to a particular page, so that it can accessed using operation binding.
Regards,
Arun

Hi,
for the commit operation: You can manually add the commit operation to the pageDef files. Just open the pageDef file in the Structure Window and choose Insert into binding --> Action from teh context menu. Then select the commit operation
Regarding the navigation: You have to first close the dialog before you perform navigation. n JSF navigation can be through the navigation handler
e.g.
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().getNavigationHandler().handleNavigation(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(),null,"outcome_string");
(where the outcome string is the navigation case of where to go next)
external context (redirect) or via the ViewRoot that can be accessed from the FacesContext.
