Navigation to pages in subfolders in JSF 2 does not work

Question

I have the following problem: I have a hierarchy of folders where I separate my web pages from the project:

Web
 |- Acoes
 |   |- usuariosAcoes.xhtml
 |   |- cadastrarAcao.xhtml
 |- usuarios
 |   |- listarUsuarios.xhtml
 |   |- cadastrarUsuario.xhtml

But when I try to navigate through Managedbean the pages do not load, only update the current page if I try to access a page that is outside the folder of the current page.

For example, if I’m on the page listUsuarios.xhtml and I try to access the registration pageUsuario.xhtml via Managedbean everything works:

public String acessaCadastro(){ return "cadastrarUsuario"; }

but if I am on the page listUsuarios.xhtml and I try to access usersAcoes.xhtml that is in another folder, nothing happens, just reload the page I am already on:

public String acessarAcoesUsuario(){ return "usuariosAcoes"; }

I tried so fearwell but did not solve:

public String acessarAcoesUsuario(){ return "Acoes/usuariosAcoes"; }

even so:

public String acessarAcoesUsuario(){ return "../Acoes/usuariosAcoes"; }

and yet:

public String acessarAcoesUsuario(){ return "Acoes/usuariosAcoes.xhtml"; }

or

public String acessarAcoesUsuario(){ return "../Acoes/usuariosAcoes.xhtml"; }

So, how can I resolve this issue? Remember that I don’t use faces-config.xml to create routes, since JSF 2.x already abstracts this.

I think it helps you

public void seuMétodo() {
    ExternalContext externalContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
                .getExternalContext();
    try {
          externalContext.redirect(externalContext.getRequestContextPath()
                + "/pastaDoArquivo/arquivo.xhtml");
    } catch (IOException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Where would be called the seuMétodo in place of his return "algumaCoisa.xhtml".

Note: I usually isolate browsing logic in a specific class, like a "navigationManagedBean", which will store all my paging calls.

Any questions, leave in the comments.
