Are there any JSF components for implementing breadcrumbs navigation?

Question

As far as I know, there are two “types” of breadcrumbs.

Static / Hierarchical

• Works like a stack
• Entries are clicked when the user "deepens" on the site.
• Entries appear when a user navigates to a site
• The same for all users (for this page)
• Shows location, not history

A simple example would be HOME → BIG CATEGORY → SMALL CATEGORY → ARTICLE

Dynamic / historical

• Works as a queue
• Entries are placed at the end when the user goes to another page.
• Records are removed from the front when the maximum size is reached.
• Different for each user, as he is personalized.
• Shows a timeline / history, not a location.

A simple example would be SMALL CATEGORY → HOME → GREAT CATEGORY → HOME

The question arises:

Is there a ready-made JSF component for these types of navigation?

Answer 1

see the price lists, there are many components and you can find http://www.primefaces.org:8080/showcase/ui/breadCrumb.jsf

Answer 2

I have the same problem! But I feel that the solution will be the one @BalusC talks about

Now I use breadcrumb only to get the current view path.

<h:form id="breadcrumb"> <p:breadCrumb> <p:menuitem value="#{bundle.Index}" action="/index?faces-redirect=true" immediate="true"/> <p:menuitem value="#{view.viewId.substring(0, view.viewId.length()-6)}" url="#{view.viewId.substring(0, view.viewId.length()-6)}.jsf" ajax="false"/> </p:breadCrumb> </h:form> 

I use .jsf as the Faces URL pattern and after viewid = / * .xhtml **, I had to fine-tune it, remove the .xhtml substring and add the .jsf line.

So, we need bean support that does the task of getting viewid (path) and puts it in an ordered list. It is also possible to use javascript:history.back() and history.forward ()!
