to use or not to use.. outputlink

If I well understood the jsf framework the outputlink tag
shoul be used only
to call web resources external to the jsf framework...

Infact, using an outputlink you can navigate to any page you
want...
even if it's not allowed by the navigation rules declared
in the
faces-config.xml....

I'm right?

Output link generates an anchor tag to the URL you give it.
No more,
no less. It has nothing to do with actions and navigation
rules. It is
a tool, you can use it for whatever you want (refer to
another JSF
view, an internal resource (like a GIF), or an outside URL)
