I think view-ids are used as identifiers as much as a url, hence there is no EL interpolation done on them. If you notice, anywhere a view is referenced for redirection, the parameters for the view are separate as opposed to part of the view-id. I did think about my problem and whether EL offered a solution as a way to pass params. Begin able to write: | <redirect view="/pages/viewItem.xhtml?itemId=#{item.id}"/> | would be cool, but impossible I think. However, I think it should be possible to do what you want by returning the view-id from an action method : | @In | private String homePage; | | void returnHome() { | return homePage; | } | | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4058340#...
