[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBSEAM-675) Improve Pages API; Add generic Page properties / meta-data

Improve Pages API; Add generic Page properties / meta-data ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-675 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-675 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Core Reporter: Ryan Dewell Priority: Minor Ideas for getting the Page and Pages to be more useful to other parts of the application. Two ways to get there: ----- 1. Add a getAllPages() or getPages() to Pages.java. Just returns all of the Page definitions / objects that are defined for the current web-app. 2. Generic Page-level properties or attributes: <page....> <property name="Type" value="UsedFor"/> </page> Then accessing that from a Page object obtained from Pages: String value = page.getProperty(String name) ----------- With these two additions, elsewhere in my application I could now 1) iterate over all of the defined Page's using getPages(), 2) figure out which Page has a property of a given value 3) now know the view-id to construct a URL for. Basically using it to look up a view id in an application controlled way. This is one use case, but maybe there are more that would benefit from these 2 additions. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
