[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-1971) Allow actions to have parameters in pages.xml

Allow actions to have parameters in pages.xml --------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-1971 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1971 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Framework Affects Versions: 2.0.0.CR1 Environment: JBoss-4.2.1, Seam 2.0.0 Daily Build, JDK 6, Reporter: Dan Hinojosa Priority: Critical For a well-rounded navigation system for seam, we need to be able to set parameters in the action tags for the page in the pages.xml file. See in the below example where I have <!--Man o' man, I would love to do this!--> comments. Currently we are unable to set these parameters. This would be tremendous asset to the 2.0.0 release and make the framework very flexible and would promote code reuse. This would have nothing to do creating RESTful pages, this is just a way to be able to better initialize components before page rendering. <page view-id="/quote/fencequote.xhtml"> <action execute="#{searchAllAvailableFencesBean.search}" > <param name="type" value="fence"/> <!--Man o' man, I would love to do this!--> <param name="subtype" value="standard"/> <!--Man o' man, I would love to do this!--> </action> <action execute="#{searchAllColorsBean.search}"/> <begin-conversation join="true"/> <navigation from-action="#{fenceQuoteManagerBean.save}"> <redirect view-id="/quote/fencequotethanks.xhtml"/> <end-conversation/> </navigation> </page> P.S. This would also have to entail modification of the xsd file.
