Support wildcards in pages.xml from-action
------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-2481
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2481
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.0.1.CR1
            Reporter: Mark Michalek
            Priority: Minor


Support wildcards in the from-action in pages.xml.   Forcing pages.xml to be aware of specific variable names in actions makes from-actions brittle.

For example:
pages.xml:
<navigation from-action="#{logoEditor.editLogo(*)}">
     <redirect view-id="/edit.xhtml"/>
</navigation>

logoPage.xhtml:
<h:commandLink value="LinkOne" action="#{logoEditor.editLogo(goodLogo)}"/>
<h:commandLink value="LinkTwo" action="#{logoEditor.editLogo(badLogo)}"/>

For this example, both LinkOne and LinkTwo would navigate to /edit.xhtml because both of the actions match the #{logoEditor.editLogo(*)} pattern.

In other words, the specific variable names on an action don't matter when the navigation is evaluated because pages.xml specifies a wildcard (*) for the parameters.
