On a Liferay-Faces based portlet, I want to navigate from a .xhtml page to another .xhtml page passing a parameter on the basis of a POST request, that is, don't giving any clue about the parameter I’m passing. In other words, I want to do a page navigation without the URL on the browser address input field changes. To do so I'm using a JSF <h:commandLink> feature, and the page navigation is working as expected. The problem is that the URL address changes when I clic the <h:commandLink> link this way:

http://localhost:8080/web/guest/landing-page         -->        http://localhost:8080/web/guest/landing-page? p_auth=62vuZpCB&p_p_id=inventory_WAR_inventory&p_p_lifecycle=1&p_p_state=normal&p_p_mode=view&p_p_col_id=column-1&p_p_col_count=1&_inventory_WAR_inventory__facesViewIdRender=%2FWEB-INF%2Fviews%2Fview.xhtml

The page 'WEB-INF/views/view.xhtml' is the one that has to be rendered, but I expected the following behaviour:

http://localhost:8080/web/guest/landing-page        -->        http://localhost:8080/web/guest/landing-page (that is, without any changes) or

http://localhost:8080/web/guest/landing-page        -->        http://localhost:8080/web/guest/landing-page/view.xhtml (in the worst case).

I'd really appreciate if someone could explain to me what is causing the URL modifies that way, and how can I procceed to make the URL doesn´t modify.

Thanks in advance.
