outputLink, graphicImage & portlet

[Storm Spire <st...@gmail.com>]

from the jetspeed jpetstore demo, I can see struts demo works well with
links, like the one inside /index.jsp, it writes
<html:link href="shop/viewCart.shtml">
    <html:img border="0" imageName="img_cart" src="images/cart.gif"/>
</html:link>

inside the jsf-demo, the image link works ok as well, like:
<h:graphicImage id="waveImg" url="/wave.med.gif" />

but it doesn't work with outputLink, if I add the following:
    <h:outputLink id="treeTableLink2" value="treeTable.jsf">
        <h:outputText value="Click Here for Tree Table"/>
    </h:commandLink>

the portal generate the link without any portal context, just like
http://127.0.0.1:8080/treeTable.jsf, but above image's URL is
http://127.0.0.1:8080/jsf-demo/wave.med.gif, quite strange behavior.

just wonder why graphicImage works perfectly with portlet, but outputLink
doesn't.

if outputLink doesn't work, anyway to go to another page without going
through bean and navigation rules?

h:outputLink is only for literal URLs, so that won't work for page
navigation.  Use a h:commandLink with an action attribute.
