Your original suggestion of using a Stack should work just fine. Then on the JSP side you can use t:dataList. I have something very similar on the project I'm working on. It's kind of complicated to explain but we have a session bean managing a tree and whenever the page is changed a method is called that can build the breadcrumb trail based on the tree bean. The result is just stored in an ArrayList and we use t:dataList to output the breadcrumb trail. It works very well. But you don't necessarily need a session bean for this. It can probably be done using a request bean and just use t:saveState on the page. Hope this helps.

Example Home > Passwordcontrol > ChangePassword Home > Search > PasswordControl > ChangePassword Mhm ok not the best example but they might be something like this. But what I'm more interessted in is how to do the navigation rules. I mean I won't like do put for every site one or more navigation rules which go back in hierachie. I mean in my above example I would have to make a navigation rule from "ChangePassword" to "Passwordcontrol" and to Home. Imagine what effort I will cost if there is a trail with 5-10 different sites. The faces-config would be so large that nobody would look through there. Any other suggestions?
