launch flow without link (jsf-spring web flow)

[secutus]

Hello,

I have been noticing that in the jsf-spring webflow examples, a flow is initiated by pushing a link. Is it possible to launch a flow by using a redirect in a jsp-page?

For example, I love to use a index.jsp containing a redirect. We used to redirect towards a jsf page but now we wish to launch a flow immediately. Is this possible and what is the code snippet for this case?

Thank you

Owkee got it:

My faces servlet reacts on the following url-pattern:

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

So I wrote in my index.jsp page the following:

<%@ page session="false" contentType="text/html;charset=utf-8"%>
<%
response.sendRedirect("servlet.jsf?_flowId=myflowN ame-flow");
%>

Hope this helps somebody.
