It was so long conversation... I just want to check, did I understood your problem correctly. So, do you mean that you would like to be able to dynamically generate the contents of the "action" attribute? So, instead of writing a lot of times: <s:link action="#{someBean.doSomeWork('value1')}" .../> | <s:link action="#{someBean.doSomeWork('value2')} ..."/> | ... | <s:link action="#{someBean.doSomeWork('valueN')} ..."/> | you would like to be able to write: <cycle name="some form of cycle which iterates by all possible values like 'value1', 'value2'..."> | | <s:link action="#{someBean.doSomeWork(valueToEvaluate)}" .../> | | </cycle> | which should be transformed into previous form during rendering of the page. Am I right? I just also had such dreams about EL and Seam before... And to have special marks to show Seam that we need evaluate valueToEvaluate on rendering phase...
