Hi Jan-Kees, yes, f:metadata is in the top level xhtml. and it works as expected. It is just processed in restore view phase, which makes sence to trigger the complete jsf lifecycle if some view parameters exists.
I didn't have the problem that f:metadata does not work correctly but rather that I need the preRenderView event when I render a new view after post actions. Michael's solution works for me. Thanks for your help.
