sounds you are looking for a nonFacesRequest to facesResponse solution: http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/InvokingJsfPagesWithStandardUrls#head-6c1aaf488d48f938896da962aaa4361ec3ffaf70

It's OK and thanks for the responses. I guess I'm looking for another level of abstraction / indirection. In Struts you can specify a so-called action path which is really a URL mapping to forward the request to an action which is really a Java method. In JSF, can something similar to this be done easily? Basically if you request a page some-page.jsf, a backing bean method will get called, and then a particular view will be forwarded to depending on the result returned from that backing bean method.

Specific inbound URL mapping is not, I don't believe, supported as the whole JSF lifecycle includes the restoration of the view root; any inbound URL may or may not have the appropriate view information available for restoration before hitting one of the backing beans. Perhaps if you could tell us exactly what you're trying to do, we could help identify a JSF-compatible solution without trying to guess exactly the kind of answer that you're looking to hear. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Chentao Hu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 3:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Struts-action-mapping-like capability in JSF I meant url --> beacking bean method mapping.
