We are in the process of re-evaluating our usage of JSF (brought in before I came onto the project) vs the possible usage of other web frameworks such as Spring MVC.

JSF 1.1: question about lifecycles, why the rendering attribute influences the managed bean action below?

I have a page "start.jsf" which points to an action #{ruler.start}, this action forwards the request to "flow.jsf".

How many ways there are to declare variables in facelets?
