title: h:outputLink to external URL
body: <p>I have the following code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;
      &lt;b&gt;Website: &lt;/b&gt;
      &lt;h:outputLink value="#{HOTEL.hotel.website}" target="_blank"&gt;
          &lt;h:outputText value="#{HOTEL.hotel.website}" /&gt;
      &lt;/h:outputLink&gt;
  &lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to make just a simple link to an external URL that I hold in my DB. The problem is that it is taking correctly the URL but before the URL it puts the main URL of the website, see below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://localhost:8080/Hotels/faces/www.chernomorebg.com
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In the database it is only </p>
  
  <pre><code>www.chernomorebg.com
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried with just a normal </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href=""&gt;&lt;/a&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>tag but again with no success. The I am using Tomcat 8 and PrimeFaces 5.1.</p>
