Hi All, I have an issue with the view parameters in combination with templating.
in file *templates/template.xhtml * *<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:h=" http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"; xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets";> <f:metadata> <f:viewParam name="parameterValue" value="#{helloBean.test}" id="paramTemplate" /> </f:metadata> <h:head> .... * in file *test.xhtml **<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:h=" http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"; xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets";> <body> <ui:composition template="/templates/template.xhtml"> <ui:define name="title">ViewParameter issue</ui:define> <ui:define name="content"> Parameter value #{param.parameterValue} <br/> Backing bean property #{helloBean.test} <br/> .... * When I call the page with the URL test.jsf?parameterValue=Rudy, only the first line is correct, the el #{helloBean.test} returns null. Without templating, the correct behaviour is shown. I was able to trace it back to the class org.apache.myfaces.view.facelets.compiler.SAXCompiler.ViewMetadataHandler which only takes into account the <f:metadata> tags in the file. (called from the RestoreViewExecutor when the view meta data is generated in case of a non-postback (viewRoot = metadata.createMetadataView(facesContext); ) This handler ignores the <ui:composition> and thus missing the definition in the template. You can work around it by specifying the <f:metadata> within a <ui:define> and put it in the template at the correct place (so that the parent of <f:metadata> is the ViewRoot) I have the use case that I have a lot of pages where a viewParameter should be present and I don't like to repeat it on every view (in case things changes) Is this issue to specific for my situation or should I create a Jira Issue for it?
