s:viewAction not fired with JBoss 7.1.1 and and f:viewParam no longer set
I just don't understand why including Seam-faces 3.0.2 and its dependencies the f:viewParam is no longer set ?
I directly type the GET url in the browser :
http://localhost:8080/proto-pilot/pilot.faces?id=13
the page is

my java cdi bean :
@javax.inject.Named
@javax.enterprise.context.RequestScoped
public class PilotAction implements Serializable {
@Inject
private PilotHolder pilotHolder;
@EJB
private PilotService pilotService;
/**
* set with the HttpParam
*
* <pre>
* <f:viewParam name="id" value="#{pilotAction.id}" />
* </pre>
*/
private Long id;
public void prepareBis() {
System.out.println("hello");
}
/**
* <pre>
* <f:metadata>
* <f:event listener="#{pilotAction.prepare}" type="preRenderView" />
* <f:viewParam name="id" value="#{pilotAction.id}" />
* </f:metadata>
* </pre>
*/
public void prepare() {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) context.getExternalContext().getRequest();
String method = request.getMethod();
Object o = request.getParameter("id");
System.out.println(o);
if ("GET".equals(method)) {
// this means first CALL to the page
if (id != null) {
// this means UPDATE
Pilot pilot = pilotService.selectPilotById(id);
// It would be nice to have OUTJECTION here.
// forces Pilot object on Holder, when a new process (update) starts
// the Holder play the role a data bag in session, it is very close to a
// conversation
// scope ...
pilotHolder.setPilot(pilot);
} else {
// this means CREATE
pilotHolder.setPilot(new Pilot());
}
}
}
public void setId(Long id) {
this.id = id;
}
public Long getId() {
return id;
}
With the debugger :
the <f:event listener="#{pilotAction.prepare}" type="preRenderView" /> is called OK
the setter on id setId() is never called : <f:viewParam name="id" value="#{pilotAction.id}" />
the action prepareBis() is never called : <s:viewAction action="#{pilotAction.prepareBis}" />
I checked on the HttpRequest instance, and yes the "id" http paramter is there with the right value => 13
If I remove all the jars from seam and its dependency, the setter setId() is called again,
any explaination ?
