Postback

When a user executes a postback, he or she submits the form contained on a page that was previously loaded into the browser as a result of executing an initial request.

h:outputLink

Renders a hyperlink and loads another page but does not generate an action event. You should use this tag instead of the h:commandLink tag if
you want the URL specified by the h:outputLink tag’s value attribute to open and do not want any processing to be performed when the user clicks the link.

Hide pages

Unlike many other frameworks you can not simply put pages under WEB-INF. There is another way though: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3512234/jsf-files-inside-web-inf-directory-model-2-pattern
