clickable lists problem...

[madhav_inamti]

I have the following scenario.

I have a page that displays the clickable list.

say (objs is the list and obj is each object)

John Public | iPod Nano
Jane Public | iPod Video

I need to go to a detail page for John if I click on John and a detail page for iPod Nano if I click on iPod Nano. Same for Jane and iPod Video.

I would need something like

<s:link value="obj.user.name" action="/userDetail.xhtml>
<f:param name="user" value="#{obj.user}">
</s:link>

Can I do this... ??

I am able to get the clicked data in a method which I invoke in the action part of command link as is shown in the messages example of Seam Reference.

In the hotel booking example too it calls a method in the backend object

I want to know how I can go to a page with a parameter as an object.
I guess I can use s:link only with raw data and not objects.

Any help is appreciated.


Thanks,

You are 90% of the way there

Try using page parameters and EntityHome like generated by Seam-gen and documented here http://docs.jboss.org/seam/2.0.0.GA/reference/en/html/framework.html#d0e6304

When using EntityHome what's a good way of implementing security so that only certain users can create new records and others can edit them and also some users can't even see certain records?

Well the Seam way would be to use @Restrict annotations on your methods and specify some security rules in your security.drl.

Check the docs.
