[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBSEAM-1296) Add <propagation type=""/> element to <redirect/> / <render/> in pages.xml

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1296?page=all ] Pete Muir updated JBSEAM-1296: ------------------------------ Summary: Add <propagation type=""/> element to <redirect/> / <render/> in pages.xml (was: Add <propagation type="?"/> as a child to <rule> or <redirect/> / <render/> in pages.xml) Description: While you can add a the propagation via a parameter its a bit verbose and cluttered (due to the value binding string literal) <page view-id="/editDocument.xhtml"> <navigation from-action="#{documentEditor.update}"> <rule if="#{documentEditor.errors.empty}"> <end-conversation/> <redirect view-id="/viewDocument.xhtml"> <param name="conversationPropagation" value="#{'none'}"/> </redirect> </rule> </navigation> </page> Adding a <propagation type="?"/> would be much clearer. <page view-id="/editDocument.xhtml"> <navigation> <rule if-outcome="done"> <end-conversation/> <redirect view-id="/viewDocument.xhtml"> <propagation type="none"/> </redirect> </rule> </navigation> </page> Side note : The reason for needing to control the propagation in the circumstance above is so that the target view (/viewDocument.xhtml) can start with a new clean conversation. The redirect mechanism delays the end of the conversation untill it gets to the redirected to view, but I dont want that conv to be used. The before-redirect attribute doesnt work in this case as the redirect url needs to include data from the existing conversation (page parameters). I use the same scenario in other places via s:link/s:button but I cannot do this here as its dependent on the outcome not what link/button I pressed was: While you can add a the propagation via a parameter its a bit verbose and cluttered (due to the value binding string literal) <page view-id="/editDocument.xhtml"> <navigation from-action="#{documentEditor.update}"> <rule if="#{documentEditor.errors.empty}"> <end-conversation/> <redirect view-id="/viewDocument.xhtml"> <param name="conversationPropagation" value="#{'none'}"/> </redirect> </rule> </navigation> </page> Adding a <propagation type="?"/> would be much cleaer. <page view-id="/editDocument.xhtml"> <navigation> <rule if-outcome="done"> <end-conversation/> <redirect view-id="/viewDocument.xhtml"> <propagation type="none"/> </redirect> </rule> </navigation> </page> Side note : The reason for needing to control the propagation in the circumstance above is so that the target view (/viewDocument.xhtml) can start with a new clean conversation.
