Dears, I'm facing a problem with myfaces-1.4 in a framed web app under JBoss Seam (http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossseam) and it seems that the problem needs upstream support (you).
The problem is the following. When a page with parameters and an <h:form> in it is first displayed through a GET, myfaces correctly issues the phase events RESTORE_VIEW, then RENDER_RESPONSE. However, when a subsequent GET attempts showing the very same page, possibly with different parameters, myfaces invokes the following phases instead: RESTORE_VIEW, APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES, PROCESS_VALIDATIONS, UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES, INVOKE_APPLICATION and RENDER_RESPONSE. This basicly means that myfaces handles the subsequent GET as a form submission, which may not always be the case. In my case, in example, the GET parameters are used to specify an item in a table. The <h:form> is then used to edit some of the fields in that item. When the <h:form> is submitted through a POST, the GET parameters which are used to identify the edited item are not supplied in the form content: they are instead automatically otained by a per-conversation context handled by JBoss Seam. So, handling a GET with parameters as a form submission drives Seam to simply ignore the parameters and apply the values stored in the conversation context. The net effect is that once a page with parameters is displayed, it is not anymore possible to "switch" to the same page with different parameters. Please note that the same doesn't hold when a page with <h:form> is invoked by a GET without parameters: it always gets a RESTORE_VIEW followed by a RENDER_RESPONSE cycle. Is there any way to circumvent this problem? Is the way myfaces handles GET with parameters a by-design behaviour? Is so, which is the purpouse? Is there a way (maybe by mean of some init param) to instruct facelets to handle GETs always with a RESTORE_VIEW and RENDER_RESPONSE cycle, and not as a form submission?
