How to call managed bean method or class directly from normal href link?

Question

I am developing a jsf web application, i want to call a method from the managed bean through normal href url. My question is i am sending an email with the application link like

http://192.168.1.10/app/password.xhtml

I have appended some parameters like

http://192.168.1.10/app/password.xhtml?no=DBzMMeIE7SY=

I need to get the request parameter "no" as "DBzMMeIE7SY=" and the method of managed bean class PasswordBean.java with change() method should be called where i can  get the parameters through request. I have given the initialize method also init method it is not called.

I need the parameter value through managed bean method when the url loads in the browser, can anyone help me to proceed with it.

There is example how to get request parameter in managed bean.

Bean implementation:

@ManagedBean
@ViewScoped
public class PasswordBean {

private String no;


    public void init() {
        if (!FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().isPostback()) {
            if (!StringUtils.isEmpty(no)) {
                // do some actions
            }
        }
    }}

And inside password.xhtml:

    <f:metadata>
        <f:viewParam name="no" value="#{passwordBean.no}" />
        <f:event type="preRenderView" listener="#{passwordBean.init}" />
    </f:metadata>
