how to stop seam keep adding url parameters?

[terryb]

On my site, I have menu which links to pages (.xhtml) on the site. Once any of the pages is viewed and submitted with url parameters (eg search form), the menu link for that page also automatically gets url parameters appened to it. this happens whether I use s:link or h:outputLink on the menu links. not only that BUT my seam components accessed in those .xhtml pages also get loaded in memory I think - since i seem log pritned out from some getter methods...

I hope above makes sence, I hope someone can comment on this and how to resolve it.

Seam 1.2.1GA + Facelets.

It seems when page is loaded; for every link on the page, seam instantiates seam components referenceds in context var on the page and initialise parameters specified in the .page.xml file.

I have like 40 links on my menu, if it is happening for each of those everytime page is refreshed then it becomes an issue.

Is that how it supposed to be? I thought I nothing should happen unless I specifically click on the page link to load it.

Obviously I am doing something the wrong way, but wonder anybody can provide a clue?

There probably needs to be a way of removing parameters from links. File a feature request in JIRA.

Pete for now how should the menu links be assigned? use s:link or h:outputLink or anything else?


I wonder what other people in this situation.
