actions defined in pages.xml

[youngm]

I'm attempting to get the hang of pages.xml. If I do:

 <page view-id="/list.xhtml">
 <navigation if-outcome="detail">
 <render view-id="/detail.xhtml"/>
 </navigation>
 </page>
 <page view-id="/detail.xhtml" action="#{bean.loadDetail}"/>

When I navigate from /list.xhtml to /detail.xhtml the #{bean.loadDetail} expression is never called. However if I just hit /detail.xhtml directly the action is called. Is this a bug or expected behaviour of some sort?

I forget what the difference is between render and redirect, but I usually use redirect in pages.xml.

 <page view-id="/list.xhtml">
 <navigation if-outcome="detail">
 <redirect view-id="/detail.xhtml"/>
 </navigation>
 </page>
 <page view-id="/detail.xhtml" action="#{bean.loadDetail}"/>

Give that a whirl...

Unfortunately I don't want to do a redirect here because I'm passing some other request parameters in and they get dropped after the redirect???

Um, it should work, I think...

[youngm]

There was an error in my example it should actually be:

 <page view-id="/list.xhtml">
 <navigation>
 <rule if-outcome="detail">
 <render view-id="/detail.xhtml"/>
 </rule>
 </navigation>
 </page>
 <page view-id="/detail.xhtml" action="#{bean.loadDetail}"/>

But that doesn't work either....I'll file a bug.
