If for some reason you need to fully refresh current JSF page, in your action you can use code like:
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); String viewId = context.getViewRoot().getViewId(); ViewHandler handler = context.getApplication().getViewHandler(); UIViewRoot root = handler.createView(context, viewId); root.setViewId(viewId); context.setViewRoot(root);
If your page doesn’t get refreshed due to browser caching, you can set appropriate headers to response in PhaseListener (check CacheControlPhaseListener).
