You can have application level messages and validation level messages. If you create a message in your application method you would expect it to display on the next page regardless of which page you navigate to.
This is in contrast to a validation message which it must pass the validation phase.

How > do I keep FacesMessage's state if I use redirect? Why would you want to? If a page has error messages then navigation will not occur. If a page does not have error messages, then "losing them" on navigation is not a problem as there are none to lose. What scenario do you have that needs to preserve messages on navigation via redirect?
