I think its a bad idea for Seam to have its own ViewHandler, because other things like facelets and Ajax4JSF already customize the ViewHandler (and that already causes integration problems). Introducing yet another Viewhandler is going to make things worse. Just do you bindings on an event scoped object and inject that object in. Or bind them onto Map attributes, and then inject them into the component via the EL #{map.attribute}. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3994820#...
