Apart from the Filter approach, you can also use . Put this somewhere in top of the view:

And add this listener method to the LoginController:

public void checkAuthentication() throws IOException {
    ExternalContext externalContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();

    if (externalContext.getUserPrincipal() != null) {
        externalContext.redirect(externalContext.getRequestContextPath() + "/index.xhtml");
    }
}

That's all.
