[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-3296) actions in .xhtml specified without parentheses do not match equivalent pages.xml navigation rules that do have parentheses, and vice verse

actions in .xhtml specified without parentheses do not match equivalent pages.xml navigation rules that do have parentheses, and vice verse -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3296 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3296 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: JSF Integration Affects Versions: 2.0.1.GA Reporter: Ian Springer Assignee: Pete Muir I was banging my head against the wall for quite a while before I figured out why my pages.xml nav rule wasn't kicking in. In my .xhtml file, I had: <h:commandButton value="#{messages['button.ok']}" action="#{operationAction.invokeOperation}"/> which was not matching the following rule in my pages.xml: <navigation from-action="#{operationAction.invokeOperation()}"> <redirect view-id="/secure/resourceInstanceOperation.xhtml"/> </navigation> (Note the h:commandButton action does not have parens, but the navigation from-action does have parens. action.foo should match action.foo(), as well action.foo, and vice verse, being as they mean the exact same thing semantically. The current behavior is not intuitive and will cost users a lot of wasted time and frustration. Note, this bug exists for actions on s:buttons, as well as actions on h:commandButtons.
