f:param works with rich:panelMenuItem in RF4?

[liuliu]

hi,

i want to know if f:param or a4j:param work with rich:panelMenuItem.

i have a menuitem who redirect to a new page, i can get the param by FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("param") if i type url?param=test,

but i get null when use f:param or a4j:param

PanelMenuItem is an action component, so it *should* work.  Can you post a code sample of how your are using it?  Try replacing your panelMenuItem by a commandButton, and verify that works as expected.

in page1, i have these

<rich:panelMenuItem name="PAGE_GESTION_PARAM_UCD" label="Paramétrage" action="page2?faces-redirect=true;" render="panelParamGeneral,tittlePage" >
<f:param name="menuitem" value="PAGE_GESTION_PARAM_UCD" />
</rich:panelMenuItem>

in page 2, there is a viewscope backingbean : bean1 :

@PostConstruct
    public void init(){
     System.out.println(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("menuitem"));
}

after some more test and google, i found the problem is faces-redirect=true; but i dont know why.
