Hi Uri,
you can do all the *ugly* parameter handling, but you should go ahead and use
<t:updateActionListener/>.
For instance you have a grid like
<h:dataTable var="analysemappe"
value="#{analysisFolderMaster.analysisfolders}"...>
</h:dataTable>
You could do something like
<h:commandButton
value="Details"
styleClass="stdButton"
action="details">
<t:updateActionListener
property="#{analysisFolderDetail.analysisFolder}"
value="#{analysemappe}" />
</h:commandButton>
This commandButton will navigate you to a *detail* page and passes the
current grid object (#{analysemappe}) to "analysisFolder"-property of
the backing bean "analysisFolderDetail".
On the detail page you can do stuff like
<h:outputText value="#{analysisFolderDetail.analysisFolder.name}"/>
See also [1] for more. Also you could uses Shale's ViewController.
