Well, I use one page with backing bean in Seam Framework. - page.xml set id, which backing object Home use to load up the instance from DB - page.xhtml get loaded with instance populated - one page for view, one for edit I try to switch old bean with new one as in objHome.setInstance() and setId(), but that won't work because when you set the view page on s:button with no id, it just uses current id for the next page. So, when the page is loaded, old instance populates the page. Just thinking about using navigation from-action in page.xml like this | <navigation from-action="#{applicationHome.manager.action}"> | <rule if-outcome="success"> | <redirect view-id="Application.xhtml"> | <param name="applicationId" value="#{applicationHome.instance.id}"/> | </redirect> | </rule> | </navigation> | | | | | If redirect populate #{applicationHome.instance.id} after action is done, then it will work. If not, current id will populate that, and we're back to square one. | | Let me give it a try. | | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4103083#...
