How to attach parameter or form field values to s:link withi

[terryb]

Hi,

I have search/list form where user type search criteria, eg courseName and hit Search button. The search button is h:commandButton with a4j:support tag to reRender results part of page. The results are displayed in the lower half of the page which is enclosed with a4j:outputPanel tag. This all works fine, however I also have a button Add Course, next to the Search button (withing a4j:form). Add Course button is Seams s:link, with some parameters attached, eg.

<s:button id="addCourse" ... />
<f:param name="orgCode" value="#{value typed by user in search fields of form}"/>

When I click the Search button, I would like s:link (Add Course) button to be rerenderd too so that it's parameters get updated with values typed by the user in search fields of the form.

Is it possible to do this?

I suppose this is not related to portlet bridge, posting on Seam forum would be more useful.

However, if you have 2 submit buttons on the same form, you should have all parameters available in your backing bean:

<h:form>
<h:inputText value="#{bean.data}"/>
<s:button value="submit1" action="#{bean.action1()}"/>
<s:button value="submit2" action="#{bean.action2()}"/>
</h:form>

with this form, you could just this.getData() in both action1() and action2() methods.
