Hi all;
We have a multi-page JSR-168 JSF portlet.
After processing the initial page, portlet navigates to the second page,
then the user goes to another menu item from the portal navigation (goes
to another portal page). After he comes back to the original page JSF
portlet renders the last visited page(second page) as expected.
But our client wants to override this behavior, only when a menu item is
clicked the initial page of the portlet should be displayed.
Does anybody come across such an implementation, or advise us a solution?
Thanks in advance

A fast a dirty way to accomplish this: in your JSF application, add an attribute to the request that keeps propagating through the screen flows. When a user accessing the portlet via the manu, that request attribute will not exist, and your portlet can decide to show its first screen.
