[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBSEAM-2263) Page-scoped components not accessible in jPDL page initial actions

Page-scoped components not accessible in jPDL page initial actions ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-2263 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2263 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: BPM Affects Versions: 2.0.0.GA Reporter: Matthew Lieder Fix For: 2.1.x See the following page declaration (selectEmployeePageBean is scoped to the page): <page name="selectEmployee" view-id="/selectEmployee.xhtml"> <action expression="#{selectEmployeePageBean.setShowDetails(true)}" /> <transition to="somewhere" /> </page> The problem is that when selectEmployee.xhtml is being rendered, selectEmployeePageBean.showDetails is false -- the bean is actually created twice, once for the action expression and again when accessed from the page renderer, and thus loses its state. I would think that the page scope should begin before the action expressions for that page are evaluated. That would allow me to easily customize pages from the pageflow definition (useful if in some places I want a "Next" button instead of "Finish", or want details to be shown in only one place, etc.) without having to make page-specific beans conversation-scoped.
