It doesn't ... if you want to fire the standard request processing
lifecycle, you need to actually submit the request. Using
<jsp:forward page="/foo.faces"/> will cause "/foo.jsp" to be rendered
(assuming you are using the standard extension mappings), entering the
JSF lifecycle at the Render Response phase.
What problem are you trying to solve with <jsp:forward> that can't be
solved a different way?
