RE: Refresh page after file upload

I don't know why I didn't think to look at that setting in my
faces-config.xml file because I use it everywhere else, but what you
suggested is what worked. Thanks Matt! Here is the JSF solution for the
archives:

        <navigation-rule>
                <from-view-id>*</from-view-id>
                <navigation-case>
                        <from-outcome>mydocuments</from-outcome>
                        <to-view-id>/mydocuments.jsp</to-view-id>
                        <redirect />
                </navigation-case>
        </navigation-rule>

Note the <redirect /> tag.

After you do the upload, just send a client-side redirect to the page
that has the document list in it.

Subject: [WEB400] Refresh page after file upload


I have a web page where a user can upload a document and then I convert
it to PDF on the fly. During the time it is being converted I redisplay
the list of documents they currently have in their repository and any
that are converting have a little animated gif to denote that the user
should refresh the page to see if it is done being converted.

The problem is that if they refresh they get this message 

"The page cannot be refreshed without resending the information. Click
Retry to send the information again or click Cancel to return to the
page that you were trying to view."

I know what this means, but I don't know how to get around it so if the
user refreshes their page it won't try to upload their file again. If
they go to the menu and re-select this page it works fine (obviously,
because another round trip to the server was made without a document
upload for the POST).

Thoughts?

Note that this is running JSF in the background.
