Thanks Christian for your response. I did search before posting but couldn't find an answer to my question. Anyways I did another search for your posting. Were you referring to this post http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4044391? Either it does not answer my question or I don't get it. Could you please me know how I can make #{categoryAction.category} (from home) available in category.xhtml?
