Well... depends how you mean the question. Each time someone clicks on a
link, only one component will do a jumpToPage, because jumpToPage never
returns - you'd have a hard time calling it multiple times in sequence...
So generally only the component containing the link/form that was clicked
on gets to jump or call, although as above you can get around that.
