Hi!
Just to make sure we talk about the same.
We have the place where we create a bookmarkable link - which can be the
NavigationHandler - and we have the place where we have to process the
incoming get parameters.

To the "Process" part:
I dont understand whats the difference between user-input and url-input
- but are from external and are subject to be wrong.
Both should go through the whole validator/converter stuff in JSF.
We need a way to handle all this, so why not do it through the view. All
what we need is in place there.
Else we have to create another jsp/facelete like configuration for this
"mini-view".
And then still we need the real view the bookmark url points to - JSF
needs something to show.

The "Create" part:
To create a bookmarkable link we do not need much more than the propose
in my post - somethink like toViewId=/view.jsp?param=#{...}
Ciao,
