fail to send parameter to a function in xhtml

[handsomeli]

I can assign the task to an actor by using pooledTask.assignToCurrentActor.

<h:column>
<s:button action="#{pooledTask.assignToCurrentActor}" taskInstance="#{task}" value="Assign">
</s:button>
</h:column>

However, i fail to use 'pooledTask.assign', evenif i've set the parameter to it like this:

<h:column>
 <s:button action="#{pooledTask.assign}" taskInstance="#{task}" value="Assign">
 <f:param name="actorId" value="c" />
 </s:button>
 </h:column>

Can you help me?
Thank you very much.

I am not sure but try adding type="submit" to s:link I had similar problems

If your el is in an action, you can use it directly in the el, like this:

<h:column>
 <s:button action="#{pooledTask.assign(actorId)}" taskInstance="#{task}" value="Assign"/>
</h:column>

As JakeC says - the signature of assign is

public String assign(String actorId)

so you won't get it to work with a parameter. N.B. in Seam2 JakeC's suggestion will work ootb

Thank you !
Now i success to send a parameter to pooledTask.assign, like this

<s:button action="#{pooledTask.assign(peopleSearch.selecteduserid)}" value="Assign" taskInstance="#{task}"/>

Also , i have to set faces-config.xml:

<application>
<view-handler>org.jboss.seam.ui.facelet.SeamFaceletViewHandler</view-handler>
</application>

Well, I got it to work in 1.1.5GA. A colleague of mine said it only works with the action attribute. Maybe in 2.0 it will work everywhere, but it definitely works with the action attribute in 1.1.5.

Yes. In Seam 2 you can use value bindings too. i discovered it yesterday and i'm really happy about it :)

JakeC - prior to Seam2 you would have had to configure the SeamFaceletViewHandler - now you don't need to :)
