How to navigate directly to a view in a task flow

Question

I have several feature requests that will require me to persist a page and navigate back to it at a later time. These features are things like Recent Items, Favorites, and Breadcrumbs.
In our app we are using bounded task flows and page fragments.
I have figured out how to get the view ID and task flow ID of the current page. I am doing this by using a task flow initializer and a region navigation listener. What I can't figure out is how to make use of these when the user wants to navigate to a particular view in a task flow. I can navigate to a task flow by replacing the taskFlowId on a dynamic region. However, I haven't figured out how to navigate to a view (other than the default) in a task flow.
Am I on the right track here? If so, what should I try next? If not, can you suggest a better method for implementing these features?
Thanks!!

Thanks for the reply. I tried your suggestion of redirecting to the view activity URL using the code below.
ControllerContext controllerContext = ControllerContext.getInstance();
String viewId = "RootFlow1/PageOne";
String url = controllerContext.getGlobalViewActivityURL(viewId);
System.out.println(url);
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect(url);
the sysout prints the URL below
/TestUIShell-ViewController-context-root/faces/RootFlow1/PageOne?_adf.ctrl-state=qlewpla4_41
However, I get a 404, saying that it can't find the page. I tried modifying some of the flow settings to get it to work. I set the redirect property on the view to true and the URL Invoke visiblity on the flow to url-invoke-allowed, but I still get a 404. What am I missing?
To give you more info about our app, we are using an outer page template to define the layout of the app (like the Fusion UIShell) and an inner page template to define the main area where pages will be rendered. Navigation is achieved by putting the main area flow in a dynamic region. When the user clicks a lnk, we swap out the task flow id on the region. Once they are in the region, navigation is normal ADF navigation within just that region.
I read both of the threads that you referenced, but I don't see anything in there that I can use (maybe I'm missing it). Are there other ways to navigate to a view in a flow that I am missing?
Thanks!!
