Ques 11. How to pass a parameter to the JSF application using the URL string?
if you have the following URL: http://your_server/your_app/product.jsf?id=777, you access the passing parameter id with the following lines of java code:
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
String id = (String) fc.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("id");
From the page, you can access the same parameter using the predefined variable with name param. For example,
<h:outputText value="#{param['id']}" />
Note: You have to call the jsf page directly and using the servlet mapping.

Ques 12. How to add context path to URL for outputLink?
Current JSF implementation does not add the context path for outputLink if the defined path starts with '/'. To correct this problem use #{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath} prefix at the beginning of the outputLink value attribute. For For Example:
<h:outputLink value=”#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/myPage.faces”>

Ques 13. How to get current page URL from backing bean?
You can get a reference to the HTTP request object via FacesContext like this:
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) fc.getExternalContext().getRequest();
and then use the normal request methods to obtain path information. Alternatively,
context.getViewRoot().getViewId();
will return you the name of the current JSP (JSF view IDs are basically just JSP path names).
