f:viewParam not working in eap 6.3

[crookedmile]

Hi Experts

I am new to this forum so hope I follow all the right protocol.

My company has a large application that I am migrating from JBoss 6.1.0.Final to Jboss EAP 6.3. f:viewParam is not working in EAP 6.3 and I've run out of ideas on what else to try to fix it. Also, rich:calendar is also not working, that is also probably also a symptom. Please note the application works in JBoss 6.1.0.Final.

I should probably also mention that I have migrated from Hibernate 3.6.6 to Hibernate 4.2.14

Stuff I’ve tried:

• Some forums mention a bug when using more than one viewParam. Tested with one, still doesn’t work
• Clean up libraries, dependencies etc.
• In older versions of jsf apparently there is a bug that breaks viewParam. Upgraded to JSF 2.2.8/ RichFaces 4.5.1
• There were some weld ClassNotFoundException exceptions that only surfaced with a higher logger level. Fixed but no impact on jsf
• It works with the following in the backing Bean:

FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

String tempTheId =facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("theID");

Which tells me  <h:link includeViewParams="true" is passing the params in the GET request.

Here’s the viewParam jsf

    <ui:define name="metadata">

    <f:metadata>

    <f:viewParam name="theID" value="#{theBean.id}"

     requiredMessage="Please use 'Edit' on view list"/>

    <f:viewParam name="theSecondId" value="#{theBean.secondId}" required="false"/>

    </f:metadata>

    <f:event type="preRenderView" listener="#{theBean.initIDs}"/>

    </ui:define>

here's the jboss-deployment-structure.xml
