You can't always show the same URL, but using the redirect-after-post pattern
(similar
to the first solution sketched briefly in the myfaces wiki), is a standard
solution.
Not only does it solve the "one-url-behind-problem", but it solves the problem
of stupid
browser warnings when the user tries to refresh the page (e.g. presses f5).
See here for a nice article:

Propagation of request parameters and faces messages is indeed a problem.
JBoss Seam solves this quite nicely using page scoped parameters and
conversations.
I am not sure about the apache pendant "orchestra".

hi,
i created three pages:
/index.jspx
/search/search_simple.jspx
/search/search_results.jspx
index.jspx contains a jscookmenu directing to search_simple.jspx (by
navigation-rule), search_simple.jspx sends a form to a backing bean
which in turn (by navigation-rule) directs to search_results.jspx.
surfing to
http://localhost/foo/
renders index.jspx, chosing search_simple.jspx from the menu renders the
page (search_simple.jspx) correctly -- but the browser now shows
http://localhost/foo/index.jsf
in the url field.
submitting the rendered formular directs to search_results.jspx -- but
now the url filed shows
http://localhost/foo/search_simple.jsf
ie the url displayed is always one page behind.
i am sure it is some kind of beginners fault but i do not find any hints
how to solve, so please -- how do i correct that?
i would happily get rid of the whole url thing (ie the browser could
always show http://localhost/foo/ regardless what page is rendered), but
if the url is displayed it should be the right one.
