Usage

In Design mode, click All Properties and look for rules under basics.
The first matching rule determines the target page:
  • redirectPhoneRule (Redirect Phone Rule) redirects to another page when the browser is on a mobile device.
  • redirectTabletRule (Redirect Tablet Rule) redirects to another page when the browser is on a tablet device.
  • redirectHeaderRule (Redirect Header Rule) redirects to another page when a header matches a specified pattern.
  • redirectCustomRule (Redirect Custom Rule) redirects to another page when the redirect property evaluates to true.

Examples

This example redirects the current page to mobile.xsp#document if the requesting device is a mobile phone or tablet.
<xe:redirect>
	<xe:this.rules>
		<xe:redirectPhoneRule
			url="mobile.xsp" urlHash="document" disableRequestParams="false">
		</xe:redirectPhoneRule>
		<xe:redirectTabletRule
			url="mobile.xsp" urlHash="document" disableRequestParams="false">
		</xe:redirectTabletRule>
	</xe:this.rules>
