JSF Action vs Outcome Attribute

Question

I\'m new to JSF and am trying to understand what the difference is between the action vs the outcome attributes? This is not the difference between buttons and command butt

Answer 1

Difference is that while action defines a server method to be executed, outcome specifies a view-id which will be destination of your page. You must use JSF inputs depending on the goal you're trying to achieve:

• targets you to the user management page. Imagine it as kind of link.
• If you return "user-management" in your action method, is doing the same as the outcome but it allows you to execute some logic into the server side. It must be embedded into a h:form tag.

Also there's no difference between or , as far as your server side getter method returns "user-management" value.
