I saw your attempt to ask a question by editing my answer; don't do that. Add a comment to the answer to get clarification. If the component you're working with is the `` you should have that instead in your question instead of the command button you have here. The `action` attribute on the menu item doesn't take a navigation url; use the `url` attribute for that instead — kolossus, Aug 09 '14 at 21:13

Seeing as you're navigating completely out of the current directory, you can use

    facesContext.externalContext.applicationContextPath //JSF2.2

    facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath //JSF2.1

At the end, you'll have (depending on your version of JSF)

    <p:commandButton value="Show Account Info" action="#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/account/show_account_info" />

As a matter of better use of JSF components, you should be using a <p:button/> or <h:button/>, if all you need to do is navigate. It comes with less overhead and provides support for bookmarkability of your URLs
