JSF navigation handling?

I'd like to ask what todays best practice of writing page navigation is for web pages with JSF 2? For now I only know defining the return strings of my backing beans, which are then mapped to the according url's. @Controller, @RequestMapping and so on.

But now I'm looking for something especially decoupling backing beans and navigation handling.

Would it be worth to take a look into Spring webflow? Or is there better / easier?

ty!

PrettyFaces is very good library for management of navigation in JSF, and SEO friendly, intuitive URL addresses. Navigation can be configured using annotations or in separate XML file. I use this library whenever I can.

Jsf 2.0 has what is called implicit navigation. It works like this: if an action result matches a view id (ie jsf page), the navigation will take you to that view. You don't really need any annotations for that.
