Page parameters with seam 2.2.2

[rzoller]

Hi,

I'm testing a little bit around with seam and try to get page parameters working. I've got a page with

<s:button action="/fallbearbeiten/msp.xhtml"
   value="Meilensteinplan bearbeiten (neu)"
   rendered="#{not empty task.variables.get('fallID')}"
   taskInstance="#{task}" >
      <f:param name="fallId" value="#{task.variables.get('fallID')}" />
</s:button>

with an entry in pages.xml

 <page login-required="true" view-id="/fallbearbeiten/msp.xhtml">
        <begin-conversation join="true" />
        <param name="fallId" value="#{fallHome.fallId}" />
        <action execute="#{fallHome.wire}"/>
 </page>

The entity looks like this

@Name("fallHome")
public class FallHome extends EntityHome<Fall> {

        @In(create = true)
        SachbearbeiterHome sachbearbeiterHome;

        public void setFallId(Integer id) {
                setId(id);
        }

        public Integer getFallId() {
                return (Integer) getId();
        }

        @Override
        protected Fall createInstance() {
                Fall fall = new Fall();
                return fall;
        }

        public void load() {
                if (isIdDefined()) {
                        wire();
                }
        }

        public void wire() {
                getInstance();
                Sachbearbeiter sachbearbeiter = sachbearbeiterHome.getDefinedInstance();
                if (sachbearbeiter != null) {
                        getInstance().setSachbearbeiter(sachbearbeiter);
                }
        }

        public boolean isWired() {
                if (getInstance().getSachbearbeiter() == null)
                        return false;
                return true;
        }

        public Fall getDefinedInstance() {
                return isIdDefined() ? getInstance() : null;
        }

        public List<Bericht> getBerichts() {
                return getInstance() == null ? null : new ArrayList<Bericht>(
                                getInstance().getBerichts());
        }

        public List<Diagnose> getDiagnoses() {
                return getInstance() == null ? null : new ArrayList<Diagnose>(
                                getInstance().getDiagnoses());
        }

        public List<Upload> getUploads() {
                return getInstance() == null ? null : new ArrayList<Upload>(
                                getInstance().getUploads());
        }

        public List<Logeintrag> getLogeintrags() {
                return getInstance() == null ? null : new ArrayList<Logeintrag>(
                                getInstance().getLogeintrags());
        }

}

and finally the msp.xhtml like this:

<!DOCTYPE composition PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
        xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib"
        xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
        xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
        xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
        xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich"
        xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"
        template="../layout/template.xhtml">

        <ui:define name="body">

                <h1>Meilensteinplan fuer Fall "<h:outputText value="#{fallHome.id}" />"</h1>
        
        </ui:define>

</ui:composition>

but the setFallId()-method is never called an the expression in msp.xhtml is always empty. Can somebody help me to bring it working? I'm using Seam 2.2.2 with JBoss 5.1

Thank you

Are you sure

<h1>Meilensteinplan fuer Fall "<h:outputText value="#{fallHome.id}" />"</h1>

is what you want? I'd say you mean:

<h1><h:outputText value="Meilensteinplan fuer Fall #{fallHome.id}" /></h1>

Hello Carsten,

thank you for your reply. You're right. I changed it like you suggested. But there is still no parameter passed :(.
In the documentation it seems easy and in the seam-gen generated pages it works, but in that easy case not...

I found out something interesting:

When I'm logged in and I open the page manually like:

/fallbearbeiten/msp.seam?cid=25&fallId=65

it works as expected. But with using the button it still doesn't work. So I changed button to link to see what seam is generating:

/fallbearbeiten/auswahl.seam?fallId=65&actionOutcome=%2Ffallbearbeiten%2Fmsp.xhtml&cid=21&taskId=2

it looks similar, but doesn't work...

I see your problem.

You are calling an action with your seam button. You just want a normal link with params. I think there is a viewid attribute instead of the action attribute.  This should generate the correct url.

Hey Martin,

you are totally right. It must look like this:

<s:button view="/fallbearbeiten/msp.xhtml"
     value="Meilensteinplan bearbeiten (neu)"
     rendered="#{not empty task.variables.get('fallID')}"
     taskInstance="#{task}" propagation="none">
     <f:param name="fallId" value="#{task.variables.get('fallID')}" />
</s:button>

with view and progagation.

Thank you for your Help!
