Thank you!
This <h:commandLink works:
...
<h:form>
<h:outputText value="Test2 stateBean = #{stateBean}, #{stateBean.logonName}"/>
<h:commandButton action="#{testTestBean.submit}" value="Submit"/>
<h:commandLink action="#{testTestBean.submit}" value="Test3"/>
</h:form>

The <h:outputLink> component does an HTTP GET to the new URL, instead of the
usual POST, so *all* JSF state is lost when you do that. Have you tried it
with <h:commandLink> instead?
