I believe that you can use a string instead of a binding expression, like you
would a action forward (action='next')

I'm not familiar with the 'x:commandNavigation' component but if the navigation
is not thru a javascript (form post), I think you would make your links to
struts actions (xyz.do). I'm not sure how you would handle it with components
that used javascript posts and not part of the struts-faces integration library
because it would assume that you would be dispatched thru the faces servlet and
the lifecycle on the component tree invoked. You might try a global navigation
rule in the faces-confg but I doubt that would work.
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>*</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>next</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/xyz.do</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
