Question

I want to convert a view ID into a URL using EL.

The purpose of doing this is to use an html <form/> tag to submit a form to a page using GET instead of POST. The form’s action attribute needs to have a URL, unlike <h:form/>.

Answer 1

This writes the outbound URL from a view ID via the servlet container in a single step:

<form action="#{facesContext.application.viewHandler.getBookmarkableURL(facesContext,view.viewId,null,false)}">
