i read the manual and looked at the example in seam jboss-seam-1.1.0.GA one thing i noticed: the navigation rules are defined in a file called navigation.xml, the fine grained stuff in pages.xml and the rest in faces-config.xml This makes sense to me. Now. As i understood gavin i should move that rules to pages.xml (have to redefine them course the syntax in pages.xml is different to "traditional" navigation rules) Then i can access the via the build in pages component But all i need is to access the navigation rules defined in navigation.xml. Will that build in component allow me this ? Thx very much, holger View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4005058#...
