Hmmm. Well I better figure this out because the application I am going to eventually be porting over an existing application to JSF that will require this!
How about this ... Make a command button on the main page but have it be hidden (with a style I guess.) Give it a meaningful id and use the new forceId attribute. Then have a button on your nav page that uses javascript and getElementById to locate the button and "click" it. Another option might be to put the <h:form> tag in your top level tiles layout page so both your nav page and your main page are part of the same form.
