Description

Faces allows one to construct an action URL (navigation) to a nonFaces target. However the bridges (ExternalContext) encodeActionURL only recognizes and encodes Faces targets. What it should do when it encounters a nonFaces target (within the web app) is encode it distinctly from a Faces target as a portlet renderURL. The bridge on receiving such a render request should recognize the nonFaces target and do an immediate dispatch rather then processing the request through Faces (lifecycle).
