[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-4120) pages-2.1.xsd doesn't allow parameterized from-action

pages-2.1.xsd doesn't allow parameterized from-action ----------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-4120 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-4120 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.1.1.GA Environment: OSX 10.5, Java 1.5, JBoss 4.2.3, Eclipse 3.4 Reporter: Bob Shanahan Assignee: Norman Richards Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.1.2.CR2 Prior to upgrading from Seam 2.0.x to 2.1.x, it was possible to define (without schema validation error) a page navigation from-action using page parameter variables. In fact, it was the only way get parameterized page from-actions to work. Given the following xhtml: <ui:include src="exportsTitleBar.xhtml"> <ui:param name="title" value="#{messages.acctSummaryTitle}" /> <ui:param name="exportActionBean" value="#{acctManager}" /> <ui:param name="action" value="exportAcctSummary" /> </ui:include> page navigation in pages.xml is defined as follows: <page view-id="/view/acctSummary.xhtml"> <navigation from-action="#{exportActionBean[action]}"> <rule if-outcome="pdf"> <redirect view-id="/view/pdf/acctSummary.xhtml"/> </rule> <rule if-outcome="xls"> <redirect view-id="/view/xls/acctSummary.xhtml"/> </rule> </navigation> </page> Using the actual bean and action, as in <navigation from-action="#{acctManager.exportAcctSummary]}">, does not work. While <navigation from-action="#{exportActionBean[action]}"> functions correctly with Seam 2.1.x, the pages-2.1.xsd produces a schema validation error due to restrictions of the from-action-expression... and ultimately the pages:method-expression, which is defined as follows: <xs:simpleType name="method-expression"> <xs:restriction base="xs:token"> <xs:pattern value="#\{.+\..+\}"/> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType> Either the page navigation from-action should be expressible via the actual bean and action or the method-expression should allow specification of a parameterized bean and action.
