By default jsf is using a outcome based navigation model.

But consider a content managment system, where the user can model "navigation decisions" by "drawing" connections from one object to another. Data is modeled in some known way to map them to an url, navigation between this model can be defined from the user.

The object defines the view to be rendered, how to navigate through the views, when the navigation decision is done in the model (have to be done there to be changeable by the user).

How could this be done with JSF.
Navigation rules have to be "there" before starting the webapp.
So how can a navigation be handled in a jsf compatible way, to support dynamic made navigation rules in the model tier (and maybe support url based navigation).

Is there any good way to do this, maybe some thought?

PS: Please dont tell only to use a custom NavigationHandler (i guess, but dont know if all these wishes could be done with it), some more comments are welcome.
