[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-280) Integrate the page context with Seam Remoting

Integrate the page context with Seam Remoting --------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-280 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-280 Project: Seam 2 Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Remoting Reporter: Shane Bryzak Assignee: Shane Bryzak Fix For: The future Original Estimate: 2 days Remaining Estimate: 2 days Support the propogation of Seam's Page Context between remoting requests. Functional Requirements: * The page context should be stored client-side in the global js variable Seam.pageContext. * The page context should be included in any Seam Remoting requests in the packet header, i.e.: <page-context><variable name="foo"><ref id="0"/></variable>...</page-context> * The page context should be returned by all remoting requests and replace the local copy * The client web page should be able to manipulate the page context, changing values, adding new values, etc via Seam.pageContext, e.g. Seam.pageContext.foo = bar; Non functional requirements: * Add a server-side convenience method to convert an object to serialized XML * Add a client-side convenience method to deserialize XML into an object * Create a <pageContext/> JSF tag that will embed a <script> block into the web page that initializes the page context when the page is first loaded * Modify the client-side remoting framework to support the dynamic discovery of object types. Use the __type field (or something similar) to identify the object type. This will mean that type stubs will not need to be explicitly imported.
