I was referring to the fact that nearly everything is POSTed in JSF. Is there a standard way to do GETs?

Problem with this approach is that if you mix your own statehandling in you might run into a mess, but it works generally pretty well. But in a portlet environment, who knows. My general opinion about portlets is, that it is a good idea on paper, but the troubles you run into generally partially caused by limitations of the underlying http architecture partially caused by the implementations do not make it worthwile. But this is just my opinion about the entire issue.
