All the generated URL's use "h:commandLink" for generating links. The problem is, none of these URL's can be opened in New Window, or can be Bookmarked. And also not good for links for search engines to scan (SEO). It will be good if instead "h:outputLink" can be used to display the links, Except for the situation where "h:commandLink" is really required (for example, save link on Save.jsp page) Looks like JSF does need some additional functionality to understand links from "h:outputLink". Change Suggested : During the code generation process, it will be useful if we can provide a option (Drop Down) to use to select which links method to use "GET" or "POST"
The following post on "Passing GET parameters from JSF to backing beans" could be helpful in determining one of the approaches to get this feature working http://balusc.blogspot.com/2006/06/communication-in-jsf.html#PassingGETParametersFromJSFToBackingBeans
We plan to implement this request in the following manner: change the generated code such that h:outputLink is used when no user input is being submitted. (We do not plan to change the wizard UI to incoporate a GET/POST dropdown.) Many thanks for this valuable request.
