Does it matter whether place f:event inside f:metadata or not?

by

No, the <f:event> is not strictly required to be placed inside <f:metadata>. It can be attached to any component. It’s indeed for pure self-documentary purposes placed inside the <f:metadata> whenever you have a bunch of <f:viewParam>s and would like to hook a <f:event> to invoke an action after all those view parameters have been set. It can even be placed outside/before those <f:viewParam>s, but it makes the code not more self-documenting.

Note that in the upcoming JSF 2.2, a new <f:viewAction> tag will be introduced which in turn is supposed to replace the <f:event type="preRenderView"> in the <f:metadata>.
