outputLink simply generates an <a> tag.. and it is intended for building links that go outside of the JSF scope (a link to another website or to a file on disk, for example). Are you using outputLink for some particular reason? In JSF, you should use commandLink (or commandButton) to trigger a JSF request/response.

Subject: Re: Backing Bean in Request Scope Persists Beyond Request
In a Google sarch I saw the following in a post from Craig:
You can accomplish that with standard managed beans my setting the <managed-bean-scope> on the
"businessDelegate" bean to be "none". This is like the create-every-time mode of Spring ... you
always get a new instance each time the _expression_ is evaluated, and it is never placed into any
scope.

This works; however, the only problem is that it seems like a new backing bean object is created
every time each component on the page is referenced (over twenty times for the page I am working
with).
Is there a better solution?
This is from the answer craig gave to a question I asked. It was regarding nesting managed beans inside other managed beans, certainly not for backing beans themselves (as you correctly point out it will generate a new bean on every call).
As far as I am aware a link is not allowed to make a POST. Therefore params should not be set this way (unless they are built into the URL which JSF does not cleanly allow for). Correct me if Im wrong, people.
What I think you're attempting to do is to set a value in a backing bean based on which of your 5 links is clicked. If this is so, you should use the JSF actionListener binding.
If this answer is insufficient--can you post some of your jsp and faces-config source?
