Difference between <render> and <redirect> in navigation

[unratito]

I'm using pages.xml to define the navigation of my Seam application. I use plain JSF controls, like h:commandLink and h:commandButton.

I can't see the difference between <render> and <redirect> in a navigation rule, since a POST-then-redirect occurs in both cases.

Is there any way I can get just a POST, the old JSF style? Or is it a Seam feature to always redirect, so views are bookmarkable, you can use the backbutton and so on?

Thanks in advance.

Paco,

Redirect allows you to add parameters. If you don't want to redirect, use Ajax to rerender parts of your page.

I don't think render should be issuing a redirect.  Are you sure there isn't something else going on?
