Do you mean that you have an action method in the view controller? Or, are you
binding a JSF control to an instance in your view controller? If you are using
action binding, your clay html template might look like options 1 or 2:
1) <a [EMAIL PROTECTED] allowBody=true>Next Page</a>
2) <a jsfid=nextPageCommand>Next Page</a>
There are eleven implicitly mapped HTML elements to JSF components. The first
option show an implied binding of a submit button with a jsf command link.
The action in your view controller might look like this:
public String next() {
return "next";
}

It sounds like your navigation rules are correct in your faces-config.xml.
Are you sure you are seeing html from the target page? Can you access
the target page directly from the browser /examples/targetpage.faces?
What are the mappings for the faces servlet in the web.xml?

Shale doesn't add any phases to the standard JSF lifecycle. It adds callback
events extending the standard lifecycle that are fired on the ViewController
associated with the page.
Are you familiar with JavaServer Faces? Shale is built on top of JSF.
Knowing about vanilla JSF will help understand Shale.
