There is no built in support for mapping to a different page (the way that Struts lets you do that), but there is an extensible API that would allow you to build such a thing yourself pretty easily. If you implement your own javax.faces.application.ViewHandler, you can customize the createView() and restoreView() methods to do this sort of mapping before they delegate the actual behavior to the standard implementation. > Thanks, > Ray Craig
