in myfaces wiki(http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/Custom_Navigation_Handler), threr are some suggestion on url parameters passing:
Dynamic Url parameters passing: This allows passing parameters between pages even when using redirection method. For exmaple, in order to navigate from a pages name: view.jsp to a page named: edit.jsp, with the parameter: objectId, the following thing can be done in navigation rule code:
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/view.jsp</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>edit</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/view.jsp?objectId=#{view.objectId}</to-view-id>
<redirect />
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>

I think that jsf-comp onload thing might be what I'm looking for. I
really surprised that something like this isn't built in to JSF. Is
using this extension violating some design principle fundamental to
JSF?
