It doesn't execute a managed bean; that's not how JSF works. It's not an action framework. (I misunderstood your statement, which wasn't precisely worded.)
This *does* mean that the request is specifically targetted at a page, and does not go through navigation rules. That's a legit nit to pick, and that's useful functionality for something like NonFacesRequestServlet, though I'd probably do this in a different way inside the JSF lifecycle along the same lines as some of Jacob's thoughts. -- Adam On 4/14/06, Hubert Rabago <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 4/14/06, Adam Winer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 4/14/06, Hubert Rabago <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Without something like NonFacesRequestServlet, the request goes > > > directly to the JSP and bypasses managed beans.
