navigate between VF pages

Hello

probably very stupid question, but i am newbie

 

I will have a VF page ( called page3 for example) that may be used fm more than one VF page

 

what is the best way to navigate  fm page1 (with command button or outputlink) to page3

so that when i am on page3, page3 "knows" where to return to (via custom Back link)

Hi..

 

 When u call page3 from page1 pass page3 id or name along with calling method.

 

In page3 get this id and assign this value to back button..

 

Sample Code:

Page Page1
<apex:commandbutton value="Page3" action="Move_Page3"/>
 
controller Page1
public pagereference Move_Page3()
{
pagereference page= new PageReference('/apex/<Page3vfname>?Name=Page1');
page.setRedirect(true);
return page;
}

Page Page3
<apex:commandbutton value="Back" action="Back"/>
 
controller Page3
public pagereference Back()
{
pagereference back_page= new PageReference('/apex/'+ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Name'));
back_page.setRedirect(true);
return back_page;
}

I think the "Creating a Wizard" tutorial in the Visualforce Developer's Guide shows most of the key concepts you are referring to. It shows how to navigate across multiple Visualforce pages, but keep the same controller across all the pages.  
 
I hope this helps.
