A * NavigationHandler is passed the outcome string * returned by an application action invoked for this application, and will * use this (along with related state information) to choose the view to * be displayed next.

A default implementation of NavigationHandler must be * provided by the JSF implementation, which will be utilized unless * setNavigationHandler() is called to establish a different one. * An implementation * of this class must be thread-safe. * This default instance will compare the view identifier of the current * view, the specified action binding, and the specified outcome against * any navigation rules provided in faces-config.xml file(s). * If a navigation case matches, the current view will be changed by a call * to FacesContext.setViewRoot(). Note that a null * outcome value will never match any navigation rule, so it can be used as an * indicator that the current view should be redisplayed.
