I understand with page definition you can do more than a simple @RequestParameter injection.

Let's forget about propagating parameters values for a while. But when it comes to just passing GET parameters(to the backing bean component) shouldn't they be having the same behaviour?

Here is what I found out. 

When you have the parameter defined in pages.xml, here is the flow of the backing bean component:

* Seam calls @Create method first
* It then calls setters on the parameters to initialize the values

With @RequestParameter, the behaviour is
* Seam injects parameter values first (No need to have setters)
* It then calls the @Create method

Is this the intended behaviour? May be there was a reason to design this way which I don't get it.
