Put parameters into url -- Howto?

Question

Hi all!
How can I post some parameters to get an url something like that
http://localhost:8080/application?user=test
So how can I get the parameter user into my url?
Can I just use the f:param Tag?
And who do I retrieve the information on the next page?
thx for help!

Wow, 1 duke dollar, geez big spender huh? :-)
Yes, f:param will work. Nest this tag inside commandLink.
Their are a couple of ways to get the paramter out of the request but the most elegant is using the "param" implicit EL varialble and the managed-property element of the managed bean configuration.
Something like:
     <managed-bean>
          <managed-bean-name>yourBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>foo.YourClass</managed-bean-class>
          <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
          <managed-property>
               <property-name>yourBeanProperty</property-name>
               <value>#{param.yourParamNamey}</value>
          </managed-property>
     </managed-bean>
