The page navigation *mechanism* in JSF is pluggable -- you need to provide an implementation of "javax.faces.application.NavigationHandler", which could then do things like look at Struts action mappings to figure out where to go next, instead of (or in addition to) the JSF <navigation-rule> stuff. You configure a replacement implementation in a faces-config.xml file, in the <navigation-handler> element inside the <application> element.
In the JSF spec, see Section 7.4 for the responsibilities of a NavigationHandler, plus the requirements for the default implementation. See Section 10.3 for configuration information, and in particular Section 10.3.5 for how you can use the Decorator Pattern to customize some aspects of the behavior of NavigationHandler (and all the other pluggability points in JSF) while delegating to the original implementation for other aspects. To get the spec, start at <http://java.sun.com/j2ee/javaserverfaces>.
