[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-1203) Redirect doesn't allow viewId as EL

Redirect doesn't allow viewId as EL ----------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-1203 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1203 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: JSF Affects Versions: 1.2.1.GA Reporter: Alan Fehr Using an EL expression in the viewId in a redirect in *.page.xml doesn't work, as it is not interpreted. Changing public void redirect(String viewId, Map<String, Object> parameters, boolean includeConversationId) in org.jboss.seam.core.Manager to incorporate this at the beginning did the trick for me: if (viewId.contains("#{")) {viewId = (String)Expressions.instance().createValueBinding(viewId).getValue();} Of course, actually parsing the string to find out if it really is an EL expression would be much better, I didn't have the time to find out how. Also the value binding may be the wrong way to go, but hey, it worked for me. It would be nice if redirecting to an EL viewId would be possible in the next release.
