Add simple URLs to s:link tag ----------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-216 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-216 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: JSF Controls Reporter: Dig Attachments: faces-config.xml, HtmlLink.java The s:link tag does not currently support custom html links but linking to actions and to JSF views is supported. By extending the current s:link implementation Seam can support URL rewriting techniques. This will enable users to hide JSF and Seam URLs behind custom URLs. For further background please refer to the forum post linked from this entry. I propose to add a new attribute to the s:link tag (named 'link', 'href' or similar). This attribute would contain the desired URL to link to. The s:link tag would process this URL as for other URLs by adding the conversation ID, etc. Here is an example: <s:link value="view" link="#{mycomponent.niceUrl}"/> The users application would be responsible for creating the URL and for ensuring that a request to that URL can be processed (url rewriting). As a proof of concept I have already implemented this feature. Some details of my changes are in the forum post. The modified files are HtmlLink.java and faces-config.xml. I will attempt to attach these files to this entry. It would be great if this feature could be added to release 1.0 of Seam as I'm currently using this functionality now! Many thanks in advance.
