Process train - doesn't navigate backwards

Question

I'm using JDev10.1.3.3, and I am trying to implement an 8 node multipage process train. The problem is it will sequential move forward through the nodes, but never back. I'm using the default "PlusOne" scenario, so I'm expecting that I can move back, for example: node1 to node 2 to node3 back to node 2. I have navigation rules for the forward and the back for all 8 jspx pages. I've re-read the framework tutorial a few times and I'm following it closely. It says the default JSF actionListener mechanism uses the outcome values to handle page navigation, so what am I missing? Where does it recognize the back outcome if the forward actions are in the managed bean? Any help is much appreciated!

Answer 1

I apologize for not mentioning the version. Yes, I am using Jdeveloper 10.1.3 for this test case.
What I am trying to achieve:
I have a startup page which is used to call the application. Depending on the logic based on the Parameters passed, I need to navigate to a selective page.
I have several sessionScope variable in the application-version on production. I wish to convert these to processScope variables to resolve the confliction of multple calls to the application from the same machine/ browser.
Some additional information I missed out to mention:
If we navigate with the navigate() method, the processScope value will persist. I tried adding a javascript to pg1 to auto navigate. This worked fiine too.
<script type="text/javascript">
function navBtnAct() {
var evnt4Comp = document.all('btn1');
var newEvt = document.createEventObject();
try {
evnt4Comp.fireEvent("onclick", newEvt);
} catch (e) {
alert('error '+e.description);
</script>
<afh:body onload="navBtnAct();">
However I would be happy to find a solution for redirect() as this would reduce some of juggling work
