Allow actions to have parameters in pages.xml
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-1971
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1971
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Framework
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.CR1
         Environment: JBoss-4.2.1, Seam 2.0.0 Daily Build, JDK 6, 
            Reporter: Dan Hinojosa
            Priority: Critical


For a well-rounded navigation system for seam, we need to be able to set parameters in the action tags for  the page in the pages.xml file.  See in the below example where I have  <!--Man o' man, I would love to do this!--> comments.  Currently we are unable to set these parameters.  This would be tremendous asset to the 2.0.0 release and make the framework very flexible and would promote code reuse.  This would have nothing to do creating RESTful pages, this is just a way to be able to better initialize components before page rendering.

<page view-id="/quote/fencequote.xhtml">
        <action execute="#{searchAllAvailableFencesBean.search}" >
            <param name="type" value="fence"/>   <!--Man o' man, I would love to do this!-->
            <param name="subtype" value="standard"/>   <!--Man o' man, I would love to do this!-->
        </action>
        <action execute="#{searchAllColorsBean.search}"/>
        <begin-conversation join="true"/>
        <navigation from-action="#{fenceQuoteManagerBean.save}">
            <redirect view-id="/quote/fencequotethanks.xhtml"/>
            <end-conversation/>
        </navigation>
    </page>


P.S. This would also have to entail modification of the xsd file.
