[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-2542) Document semantics of s:link with view and action

Document semantics of s:link with view and action ------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-2542 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2542 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Task Components: Documentation Reporter: Mark Schmatz Assigned To: Pete Muir Priority: Optional Fix For: 2.1.0.GA, 2.0.1.GA Seam-gen generates the following code in the menu.xhtml page: <s:link view="/home.xhtml" action="#{identity.logout}" value="Logout" rendered="#{identity.loggedIn}"/> We have here both, the 'view' and the 'action' attributes at the same time. Is this well-defined? I would propose to discard the 'view' attribute and replace the EL in the 'action' attribute with: #{authenticator.logout} Additionally, in the Authenticator class a logout method should be provided (automatically generated by Seam-gen) which invokes 'identity.logout()'. In pages.xml a respective navigation to the "/home.xhtml" page should be performed. The advantage - besides having a proper s:link - is that one can do additional stuff in the logout method before and/or after logging out.
