what he want's is to execute a method and then rendering a page.
Volker's suggestion is the closest, or don't use JSF for use cases like that.
For example. A webservice request comes in; some processing is done;
something (xml-xxx) is *rendered*.
I'd not use Faces for that kind of stuff.

Well, via the navigation rules you can define a complete rule such as:
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/page1.jsf</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/page2.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/page3.jsp</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/page4.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
This would give you some abstraction in that the backing beans only have to
return "success"; the navigation rule will decide where to go. It doesn't
get you into a specific backing bean on the inbound path (as views/backing
beans are typically tightly coupled), it is probably not something that you
want to do.

Subject: RE: Struts-action-mapping-like capability in JSF
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.

Sorry, Eric, but your question is still not completely clear, but I'll take
a swag at it...
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.

I meant url --> beacking bean method mapping. I don't want to go the
result page directly.

Um, have you actually read anything about JSF?
I mean anyone who RTFM would know that the navigation rules provide the
string->result page mapping as struts provides...
