[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-4236) CLONE -captureCurrentView on redirect should capture all request parameters

CLONE -captureCurrentView on redirect should capture all request parameters --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-4236 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-4236 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.1.2.GA Environment: Win XP Reporter: Paul Chan Assignee: Dan Allen Fix For: 2.2.0.CR1 Original Estimate: 1 hour Remaining Estimate: 1 hour I have tested this fix in 2.1.2 and it is still not working. Here is my test case: ../mydomain/test.seam?cmid=10#menu:test_view&tab:test1 Only cmid=10 is carried over after i login. Anything after the # sign is not carried over to the new page. It seems to me that when the page was redirected to the login page the parametes are carried over, but as soon as i enter the login name and password and I was redirected to the original page all the parameters after the # sign are lost. =============================================================== When the captureCurrentRequest() method was deprecated and replaced by captureCurrentView(), the behavior changed such that page parameters were being saved instead of request parameters. I'm fine with the idea of preserving page parameters based on how they were bound to the model on the way into the page, but I also think that arbitrary request parameters need to be captured. Otherwise, the redirect back to the current view will in many cases be incomplete and thus fail. The logic I propose is to capture the request parameters and then override the values with the values from the page parameters (giving page parameters the precedence). However, long term, we should also consider the fact that multi-value parameters are not being preserved. Likely they should be captured as well, but there is a lack of infrastructure to support them.
