[Max Andersen (JIRA)]

     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBIDE-2021?page=all ]

Max Andersen updated JBIDE-2021:
--------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 2.2.x
         Priority: Critical  (was: Major)

Yes, this is an often asked for request, but I still haven't found a good way of represent pages.xml efficiently/correct....maybe i'm just overcomplicating things ;)

Anyone with a suggestion on how it should look/work for an decent sized/complex pages.xml/page.xml collection is very welcome to attach a drawing/proposal to this jira.

> Currently there is no way to visually edit the pages.xml and *.pages.xml files generated by Seam Gen. As a result, we cannot add params and/or navigation/conditional navigation between pages visually.
> This needs to be done manually and is a painful and error-prone process.
> Could we have a visual editor for this please?
> This should have the following functionality:
> 1. Add params based upon the source page's input parameters. This can be auto-scanned and then the user can be asked to select the parameters from a list.
> 2. Editing the navigation here should work in similar way as the faces-config.xml editor. However, in addition, this should also allow for seam's conditional navigation.
