JSF Navigation

Question

i'm returning a string value for navigation in an action method.
Actually, i need to know which page we will go with the returning value. Is there a way to do this?
for example;
public String doAddAction() {
     String nextPage = getNextPage("pageedit");
     if (user.isAllowed(nextPage)) {
          initForEdit();
          getRequestScope().remove("pageid");
          return "pageedit";
     else {
          createInfo("", "You aren't allowed to do this operation!");
          return null;
in this method, i have to implemet getNextPage() function!
thanks for advance.

This doesn't address your specific question, but offers a workaround -- enable/disable controls right at the beginning, depending on the user's role. As a user I would find it frustrating to be presented with many, apparently-live controls, of which many say "you are not allowed to do this" when Iselect them. I would far prefer to be presented just those controls I am, in fact, permitted to use.
