[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-3507) Allow for navigation rules to take effect before the view is displayed

Allow for navigation rules to take effect before the view is displayed ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3507 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3507 Project: Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.1.0.CR1 Reporter: Stuart Douglas Attachments: seam-immediate-navigation-v1.diff Allow the developer the specify navigation rules that are evaluated before the view is rendered. For example, say we do not want logged in users to be able to view the login page, we cannot do this: <navigation> <rule if="#{identity.loggedIn}"> <redirect view-id="/main.xhtml"/> </rule> </navigation> Instead you must either use a page action that contains the navigation logic, or specify a dummy page action such as ''.toString() and use this action as the from-action in your navigation rules. I propose we add an 'immediate' attribute to the navigation attribute that specifies that this action is evaluated before page actions are run.
