Best practices for “Back” navigation links in JSF

Question

What is the best way to make \"Back\" links, so that the application stays consistent after navigation.

• onclick=\"history.go(-1)\". Is this very harmf

Answer 1

I'm using:

• MyFaces orchestra for providing conversation scope
• for each navigation rule

This ensures that on pressing the "back" button or history.go(-1):

• the data that has been available in the previous screen will be still there (because the conversation is still active)
• the "resubmit" browser dialog won't open.

P.S. "backlink" has a different meaning
