So here is my ordeal. I've taken a look at the contactlist code and am trying something similar in my app. So a list of items is presented on my main page with an s:link tag in the name column as so, using ui:repeat and table tags, just like the contactlist. ... <s:link view="/ItemEditor.xhtml" value="#{item.name}"> <f:param name="itemId" value="#{item.id}"/> </s:link> ... and in ItemEditor.xhtml I have ... #{item.name} Editor ... I only get Editor rendered on the screen. My guess is that the item object isn't being set in the conversation context. Can anyone explain what the f:param is doing and how that makes / should make the selected opject get stored in the conversation context. Am I on the right track? any ideas? Andy.
