As far as I know there are two "kinds" of breadcrumbs.

The static/hierarchy one

  • Works like a stack
  • Entries are pushed when a user goes "deeper" into the site
  • Entries are poped when user goes "up" into the site
  • Is the same for all users (for a given page)
  • Shows location rather than history

A simple Example would be HOME -> BIG CATEGORY -> SMALL CATEGORY -> ARTICLE

The dynamic/historical one

  • Works like a queue
  • Entries are pushed at the end when a user goes to another page
  • Entries are removed from the front when the maximum size is reached
  • Is different for each user, since it is personalized.
  • Shows timeline/history instead of location.

A simple example would be SMALL CATEGORY -> HOME -> BIG CATEGORY -> HOME

The question is:

Are there any ready-made JSF component for these types of navigation?
