    Did "back=enabled" stop working in JPDL?

      After a recent upgrade to JBoss AS 4.2Beta2 (which includes an unspecified, but recent version of Seam), I am now facing a problem with back buttons. In previous versions, my page flows would handle the back button correctly by refusing to reposition to a "stale" page unless "back=enabled" was set. It seems that repositioning now always occurs, whether or not "back=enabled" is specified. This is undersirable since I have some confirmation-type pages where I don't want the back button to be used.

      Has anyone else seen this? I've seen some forum rumblings about the back-button recently and some signs of breakage in CVS surrounding Pageflow.java and FacesPage.java but I'm not sure this is related.

          Huh. JBoss AS 4.2.0.GA is out. And the AS doesn't contain Seam. Unless you are talking about Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 4.2? EAP 4.2 comes with a modified Seam 1.2.1.GA

            Sorry for the typo. I meant EAP 4.2. Does anyone know of a change to pageflow behaviour in Seam 1.2.1GA that would cause nodes without "back=enabled" specified to allow the back button to a previous stale state? We have not specifically tested this since the early Seam 1.1 releases but it worked fine back then.

              It should not have changed. If it is really not working, it would be a bug.
