    Question regarding overlapping wildcards in pages.xml

    tnfink

      Hi,

      regarding overlapping wildcards in pages.xml the Seam reference manual says:


      If multiple wildcarded page actions match the current view-id, Seam will call all the actions, in order of least-specific to most-specific.


      I would like to use this feature to reduce repetitions in the navigation rules. But it seems that it does not work. At least not in the way I thought it should do...

      Here is a code fragment:
       <page
       view-id="/offer/create/*"
       no-conversation-view-id="/home.xhtml"
       action="loggerAction.ping('Offer-Create')">
       <navigation>
       <rule if-outcome="exit">
       <redirect view-id="/home.xhtml" />
       </rule>
       </navigation>
       </page>
       <page
       name="Angebotskopferstellung-1"
       action="#{loggerAction.ping('head1')}"
       no-conversation-view-id="/home.xhtml"
       view-id="/offer/create/offerhead1.xhtml">
       Anlegen eines Angebots
       <navigation>
       <rule if-outcome="next">
       <redirect view-id="/offer/create/offerhead2.xhtml" />
       </rule>
       </navigation>
       </page>
      


      Because "/offer/create/*" and "/offer/create/offerhead1.xhtml" overlap both page-elements should be activated.

      The good message is that it does work for the navigation rule. The surprising message is that it does not work for the "action"-configuration. I would expect that
      both actions should be executed when I display
       /offer/create/offerhead1.xhtml
      

      But I get only one message:
      09:53:05,949 DEBUG [LoggerActionBean] PING: head1
      


      Is this a bug or a feature?
