I figured out the answer to my own question. I found that if I don't
set the outcome property and just return null from the MenuItem bean
the navigation stays on the same page as it should.
I would be interested in hearing if anyone has been able to
successfully use the useWindow attribute in the commanNavigationItem.
In my experience, setting useWindow="true" doesn't open a new window.
Thanks,
Richard
