A beginner question

[Chrisi]

Hello,

 

this is a beginner question:

 

I have two java server faces pages.

 

Nr.1  'page1.faces':    Contains just a simple form with an input-field like the following

<h:inputText value="#{controller.name}"/

 

Nr.2 'page2.faces':   Should contain a simple link to 'page1.faces'.  When clicking on

the link, a value like 'Chrisi' should be transfert to the text-field and page1.faces should

be rendered.

 

What is the JSF way to do this right?

Sure, I can do something like this <a href="" and

let the page1.faces check the parameter 'name' using EL.

But there should be a better way using the JSF lifecycle and the controller/modell concept, right?
