Page navigation is an important aspect of web programming. The more complex an application is, the harder it is to manage how users navigate from one page to another. JavaServer Faces (JSF) solves this problem by allowing page navigation to be configured
Tutorial Details:

All multi-page web applications need some mechanism to manage page navigation for their users. If you are familiar with Model 1 and Model 2 of the servlet and JSP design models, you know that page navigation can be complicated in Model 1 applications because the link to the user\'s next destination is hard-coded. The difficulty of page navigation management often makes Model 1 inappropriate for medium-sized-to-large applications. Model 2 alleviates the problem somewhat, because the next links are confined to the Controller servlet. However, changing a link requires the recompilation of the servlet. JSF, however, offers page navigation through page navigation rules in the Application Configuration file.
Page navigation is crucial to JSF application programming. All multi-page JSF applications will require the user to navigate between pages. In JSF, the user navigates to another page by clicking a UICommand component on the page, represented by either the command_button tag or the command_hyperlink tag. JSF provides a default action listener for page navigation. the page navigation rules in the Application Configuration file. Because the Application Configuration file is an XML document, you can use any text editor to update it. This means page navigation is easy to modify.
