How to force add cid parameter in the url

[aislam]

Hello,

I'm trying to make sure that my URLs always include cid parameter with the current conversation id. Is there any way to configure that? Here is a bit of code snippet, if any one can tell me how I can add the cid parameter to it that would be really helpful. I'm using Seam 2.2.0.GA and JBoss 5.1.0.

profile.page.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<page xmlns="http://jboss.com/products/seam/pages"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.com/products/seam/pages http://jboss.com/products/seam/pages-2.2.xsd">

    <action execute="#{profile.controlPageFlow}" />

    <navigation from-action="#{profile.controlPageFlow}">
        <rule if-outcome="toAccountRequestPage">
            <end-conversation />
            <redirect view-id="/accountRequest.xhtml" />
        </rule>
        <rule if-outcome="toProfilePage">
            <begin-conversation join="true"/>
        </rule>
  </navigation>
</page>

controlPageFlow in the backing bean:

public String controlPageFlow() {
        if (user.getInstance().getId() == null) {
            return "toAccountRequestPage";
        }
        else {
            return "toProfilePage";
        }
}

I would like to make sure that when it reaches the profile page the url looks like -

http://localhost:8080/myapp/profile.seam?cid=[coversation.id]

Right now I don't get the cid parameter and value, so when I click refresh, it creates another conversation. I would like to stop it.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thank you,
Arif

Did you try a wildcard in pages.xml?

<page view-id="*">
    <param name="cid" value="#{conversation.id}"/>
</page>
