Page action in ViewConfig

[gonzalad]

Hello,

Just noticed ViewConfig documentation http://docs.jboss.org/seam/3/faces/latest/reference/en-US/html/viewconfig.html.

Nice feature (old pages.xml) !

Can I configure a page action with ViewConfig ?

For instance :

@ViewConfig
public interface Pages {
    static enum Pages1 {

        @ViewPattern("/*")
        @ViewAction("#{bean.doSomething()}")
        ALL;
    }

}

Thanks !

That's a great idea, and I don't think it would involve too much to implement it.

Would you mind filing a jira issue asking for the feature?

Brian, you may already know this, if you do, please disregard.

PrettyFaces has this capability, and the added bonus of specifying which phase you want this to occur, they also have annotations for it (you annotate the method you want invoked). I'm sure we could create a mapping for it from the enum to the PrettyFaces solution if users want it all to be in one area.

Thanks very much, created SEAMFACES-147

With this annotation, it will be easier for us to migrate to Seam 3 (we use a lot of page action in pages.xml ;) - even for wildcard pages).

These codes seems a little uncomfortable...the interfaces Pages and enum Pages1 are meaningless here.
1. I think it is better to introduce xml config like seam2.
2. Provides a programatic approach to build the url pattern by code.
Such as

public void viewConfig(@Observes @SOMEJSFPhase ViewConfiguration config){
    config.add(new ViewConfigBuilder().url("/")....build());

}
