add @PageAction annotation to method
------------------------------------
Key: JBSEAM-1631
URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1631
Project: JBoss Seam
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Tools
Affects Versions: 2.0.0.BETA1
Reporter: Dan Allen
I cannot help but to conclude that a page action ought to be able to be declared as an
annotation on a method. Why not? It is very similar to a @WebRemote method in a sense. It
would also eliminate the need for the XML file if you prefer to return view ids directly
in the action handler methods. Think about the love Seam would get by removing the
dependency on the XML for this feature. No XMLHell, remember?
The way it would work is that when Seam spots the annotation during initialization time,
it just registers that method with the Page framework just as if it had found it in the
XML file.
I wouldn't be broken-hearted if this is rejected, but it seems consistent with the
goals of Seam.

Hung Tang commented on JBSEAM-1631:
-----------------------------------
Hmmm.. So Seam needs to be basically support something like this
@PageActions {
@PageAction(view="/view1.xhtml" if="#{foo1.true}")
@PageAction(view="/view2.xhtml" if="#{foo2.true}")
@PageAction(view="/view3.xhtml" if="#{foo3.true}")
}
The only problem I have with this is that it becomes much more disorganized when trying to
locate all the page actions for a particular view. I need to scan my entire source tree
for /view1.xhtml, for example, to find all the page actions.

Dan Allen commented on JBSEAM-1631:
-----------------------------------
Exactly. Remember, this is a preference. A style. An alternate approach. A chance to
eliminate the XML file. If you store it in XML, then you just have to go digging through
XML files to locate the page actions. Personally, I think it would be a very nice addition
to Seam for people who are really buying into the whole annotation thing. You could argue
that there are a lot of other places in Seam where one setting is easier to locate than
other. Some people's brains work differently.
The only other option that would really bring the method close to the source is to put it
in the view, as Gavin suggests in
http://blog.hibernate.org/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/2007/07/09#ee6part2. However, I have never
liked the way that looks. But I could just be a narrow-minded fool.

Hung Tang commented on JBSEAM-1631:
-----------------------------------
With a centralized XML file that Seam uses, you know all the page-actions will be stored
in one place and it'll be located under a particular view definition which is easily
navigated with basic editors using search. It's much easier to understand and to
maintain over the choice of annotations. I really don't know how users could find it
much more convenient to search for duplicated view-id configuration in different source
files. Yes, "XMLHell" is bad but equally bad is something we're moving
towards: AnnotationHell. Personally, I like it the way it is right now but I don't
believe it's perfect and I also agree with you that I don't like the proposed
syntax in his blog entry. I'm really a fan of "less is more" unless
there's a compelling reason to provide an alternative. But for users "buying
into the whole annotation thing" to me isn't really a compelling reason.

Dan, feel free to open up a topic in the forum if you have other thoughts about this.
I'm sure Gavin and his crew would appreciate us not to use JIRA for what might turn
out to be an endless debate.

going on down the line on here and the forum is busy. Just don't be
I like this idea Dan, I mean, I'm with Hung - I like to keep things centralised but
choice is good! - one of the original things about Seam was to reduce xml - but we have
crept back to it over time.
