I copied an example working project I created using seam gen where it generated: | <s:link id="ticket" value="#{ticket.name}" view="/ticket.xhtml"> | <f:param name="ticketId" value="#{ticket.id}"/> | </s:link> | Whereas mine looks like this, the value doesn't matter since it is for display. | <s:link id="ticket" value="#{ticket.id}" view="/ticket.xhtml"> | <f:param name="ticketId" value="#{ticket.id}"/> | </s:link> | tempTicket is only for the temporary Ticket instance for searching. In the dataTable I have tickets as my object and each individual is ticket, so ticket.id works. The problem is when I click the link above to try to view an individual ticket, no ticket gets loaded in the background. Honestly, it is because I don't understand the "magic" that is going on. ticketId is getting passed as a parameter, however, in the EntityHome and Home objects from Seam I can't see anywhere that it trys to read in the id or ticketId as a RequestParameter. I would really like to know how it magic is working when it works View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3986675#...
