Is it to late to get this CRITICAL feature in before the off

[dhinojosa]

I really really need this feature in. I would like to specify actions with parameters in the page element of pages.xml. Please take a look at my code snippet below, where I have commented "Man o' man, I would love to do this". Currently you can specify actions per page to run before the page becomes available, but you cannot specify any parameters, and I would really like to set those.

BTW, this would have nothing to do with a RESTful page, this just to have certain state in my beans before rendering the page.

<page view-id="/quote/fencequote.xhtml">
 <action execute="#{searchAllAvailableFencesBean.search}" >
 <param name="type" value="fence"/> <!--Man o' man, I would love to do this!-->
 <param name="subtype" value="standard"/> <!--Man o' man, I would love to do this!-->
 </action>
 <action execute="#{searchAllColorsBean.search}"/>
 <begin-conversation join="true"/>
 <navigation from-action="#{fenceQuoteManagerBean.save}">
 <redirect view-id="/quote/fencequotethanks.xhtml"/>
 <end-conversation/>
 </navigation>
 </page>

JIRA issue?

[dhinojosa]

Not yet.....Thought I'd check here first.

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1971

Submitted. I put it at critical since it is a major roadbump for me right now. But you're man now dog, so you can change at will ;)

[gavin.king]

I don't understand what this code does. What is a "paremeter" of an "action"?

[norman.richards]

Does the parameterized EL not work for you?

#{searchAllAvailableFencesBean.search('fence', 'standard'}

Norman,

I have a bean already created, nicely tested, that I really don't want to re-engineer ;) All I want to do is set some properties........................................................OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

DAMN IT!!!!!!!!;) NEVERMIND!!!!!;) I TOTALLY NEED TO DO THAT SETUP IN THE COMPONENTS.XML AND NOT ON PAGES!!!!!!!!! ;)

Hehehe. I type the word properties in this message, and it hit me like a ton of bricks, thanks so much. I will close the JIRA. ;)

;) *Blushing*

@Stateful
@Name("searchAllAvailableFencesBean")
@Scope(....)
public class SearchAllStandardProductLikeTypeAndSubtypeBean .... {

 public void setType(String type) {....}
 public String getType() {.....}
 public void setSubtype(String subtype) {....}
 public String getSubtype() {.....}
 public void search() {......}
 .....

}

Gavin,

Thanks.....I had a dumb moment. It was something I should be doing in components.xml and not pages.xml. BTW, when I had param, I meant properties. ooops.

;)
