I have a general JSF question about hyperlinks.  I know this is more of
a mailing list for Shale, but in looking into using Shale at my company
I came upon this question that I thought someone on this list might be
able to answer.

>From what I can tell, there is no way to generate a hyperlink that is
linked to a "ViewController component" in JSF that doesn't use
JavaScript.  It seems like when I look at the output source from sample
faces applications, the links always use the onclick JavaScript handler
to navigate to the next view.  Is it not possible to render a link
without relying on JavaScript to do the browser navigation?  I can see
this being a potential problem when trying to build a internet-facing
application in which you don't have control over the user's environment.
What if they have JavaScript turned off in the browser?  The whole
website would not work then?  I think that is a major limitation of JSF.
If I've overlooked something here, please let me know.  I look forward
to anyone's comments.

Thanks,

Chad
