I can't find a reference to pageEventClass or the initPageEvent() method in any of the Seam source code that I have on my machine (which is most Seam versions). Are you sure this wasn't a patch you or your team was maintaining? If not, please point to the SVN URL of the UIDocument class when it had this method. Then we can get to the bottom of it. If it is a new feature -> JIRA. -Dan On Sat, Aug 22, 2009 at 4:47 PM, Kenneth Christensen <kec(a)mediatorsystems.com > wrote: Maybe someone could explain me why the "pageEventClass" have been removed from the UIDocument and why is it not supported by Seam PDF anymore?
