Raising events from s:link

[adamw]

Hello,

don't you think it would be useful to add a following tag s:raise-event:

<s:link value="Add new group" action="#{groupMod.add}">
 <s:raise-event type="org.jboss.seam.captureView" />
</s:link>

which would of course raise the given event when the link is clicked? Right now, I end up simulating a very similar functionality with by adding a "marker" action to my bean, and specifying the desired events behaviour in pages.xml.

I've always thought in cases like this we would generally prefer an outcome like "newGroup" which could be associated with your action and a set of events on the server-side. (preferably through a clean url) This shouldn't take too much wrangling on pages.xml.

I already worry that we made a huge mistake with the implementation of s:link, and it would be great if we didn't continue too far down that road with new things like this.
