    Seam variable names vs. ui:param definitions

    ericjava.eric.chiralsoftware.net

      Very simple question: I am using Facelets all the time to include templates.  I'm often doing it like this:


      main page:


      <rich:dataTable value="#{invoicelist}" var="invoice">
       <ui:include src="information-panel.xhtml">
         <ui:param name="invoice" value="#{invoice}"/>
       </ui:include>
      </rich:dataTable>



      and the information page:


      <h:outputText value="#{invoice.note}"/>



      Here's the question: I also have a seam component named invoice.


      What I want to happen is on the information page (which is included) I want the invoice to refer to the var that is defined in the outer page using the ui:param.  I want the ui:param definition to override the Seam component value.  But it doesn't seem like this is happening.  It seems like a Seam variable definition always overrides values set by ui:param.


      Is this correct?  If it is, it's not too much of a problem; I just will use variable names appropriately.  I just want to understand if this is what is going on.
