Not sure Breadcrumbs will help much; it executes its hyperlinks in
immediate mode, so
no page state will be saved. You could potentially change the
hyperlinks in the breadcrumb
via an object binding in the backing bean, however. This might give
you some flavor of
dynamic navigation.
I'm not sure what "dynamic navigation" means, however. I assume it
means you cannot
use the static navigation rules in the faces-config.xml file? The
Lockhart console does
dynamic navigation in its login pages sequence (in that case, the JAAS
LoginModule
callback objects determine the "next" page to navigate to; so the login
never knows
until runtime what page is next). In the LH console case, we overrode
the Faces
navigation with our own. At least in this scheme, you still do page
submits (thus
can save page state before navigating to the next page).
