The hidden command button/javascript click() solution is working for me.
I'm not real crazy about it though. Seems like a hack. How about a JSF
component that renders a submit button for a form defined elsewhere? I
haven't dug very deep into the JSF internals yet but it seems like the
component could navigate the component tree, find a form by id, and then
render a submit button that uses JavaScript to submit the form. Would
this work?
Thanks,

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.
I think I'll give this approach a shot and see how it works.
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.
HTH,

I thought about this approach but it could get messy when you get into
multiple forms on a page.
