Page-scoped components not accessible in jPDL page initial actions
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-2263
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2263
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: BPM
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.GA
            Reporter: Matthew Lieder


See the following page declaration (selectEmployeePageBean is scoped to the page):

<page name="selectEmployee" view-id="/selectEmployee.xhtml">
	<action expression="#{selectEmployeePageBean.setShowDetails(true)}" />

	<transition to="somewhere" />
</page>

The problem is that when selectEmployee.xhtml is being rendered, selectEmployeePageBean.showDetails is false -- the bean is actually created twice, once for the action expression and again when accessed from the page renderer, and thus loses its state. I would think that the page scope should begin before the action expressions for that page are evaluated. That would allow me to easily customize pages from the pageflow definition (useful if in some places I want a "Next" button instead of "Finish", or want details to be shown in only one place, etc.) without having to make page-specific beans conversation-scoped.
