request parameter + sfsb

[knisterpeter]

I'm struggeling with creating a page where a request parameter is used to initialize a bean parameter. I have the following workflow:

GET Request => page/form display => form action (sfsb method)

The first GET request should initialize the bean to setup a property by a request parameter. But when I submit the following form the parameter is null in any case.

Does anybody can give me a simple example or explain in detail how to create such a usecase?

The blog example does this using page parameters. The seam pay example uses @RequestParameter. Also, seam-gen apps uses page parameters to achieve a similar effect.

Can anybody suggest the thinking behind choosing to use a page parameter vs. @RequestParameter?

page parameters are newer, more powerful, and separate design concerns better than @RequestParameter
