JSF 2.0: View Params, GET Requests, and Bookmarking Results Pages

• lookup1.jsf
  First bank account lookup page. No view params.
• lookup2.jsf
  Second bank account lookup page. Uses view params.
• linkers.jsf
  Page with links to the second bank account lookup page. Shows that links can encode useful information if the destination page uses view params.
• lookup3.jsf
  Third bank account lookup page. Illustrates that blind use of includeViewParams yields a useless result with POST-redirect-GET.
• lookup4.jsf
  Fourth bank account lookup page. Illustrates that proper use of includeViewParams requires you to identify the primary key and to refactor your logic so that the setter method for that key has side effects. This example assumes that user has gone through an earlier authentication layer, since bookmarking results pages that need passwords is always wrong.
