Using qualified names in pages.xml

[davidatkinsuk]

Hi,

We're embarking on using seam for a fairly large web front end, so we want to use qualified names to identify all seam components.

Unfortunatly, if i try to refer to one of these components in pages.xml to provide the title for a conversation, it doesn't work. When trying

<page view-id="/modules/staff/edit.xhtml">#{seam$staff$StaffEditAction.description}</page>

I get the following appearing as this cookie trail entry

<a ... lots of faces js ...>staff$StaffEditAction.description}</a>

Any ideas? do you not use the dollar notation in pages.xml? I've tried putting a slash before each dollar with no avail as it appears that it is some kind of parsing issue that the dollar is causing.

Thanks,

Dave Atkins

Sorry to bring this up again, but ....

This was posted in the JIRA - http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-233, but closed as Gavin couldn't reproduce it. I still haven't managed to get this working in my project, so i took the issues example and renamed the name of the IssueEditorBean to

@Name("test.issueEditor")

I changed pages.xml to reflect this change

<page view-id="/editIssue.jsp">#{test$issueEditor.description}</page>

and also search/replaced some of the view code to reflect this change. when i goto a project -> create issue (after logging in), my conversation list appears as

Project [HA] | issueEditor.description}

this is the same problem as above. I'm on the latest version of jboss, and checked seam out of cvs a few weeks back so it would run with 4.0.4.GA.

jboss is running on a mac (PPC) with the latest version of java from apple. I've not noticed any other problems using qualified names elsewhere, just in pages.xml

has anyone else noticed this problem? can anyone else reproduce this?

cheers!

Dave
