User,
A few things:
First, if all you are doing in the backing bean is ADFUtils.perFormNavigation - why not just put the navigation case into the action property directly? This isn't the cause of your "issue," but it's they way I would do it.
Second, you don't mention which version of JDev you are using. Not that it matters so much, but it's always a good idea to say.
Third, JSF and the back button on your browser don't really play nicely together. The reason that you don't go back to page1.jspx is that there are three requests going on:
(1) get page1.jspx
(2) postback to page1.jspx, displaying page2.jspx
(3) postback to page2.jspx, displaying the popup
( ) (popup is closed here)
After you close your popup, the history in your browser looks like this:
(1)
(2)
(3) <== this is the current page
So, when you go back, you get this:
(1)
(2) <== this is the current page
(3)
The current page after you have gone back, as you can see, is page2.jspx.
That is why.
The solution: don't use the browser back button; put a "go back" button on page2.jspx that executes a navigation case to go to page1.jspx.
I see below that Frank concurs ;)
