We totally agree with you, and we (actually Stan Silvert) currently have an experimental JSF fork where we have been playing with this and other ideas with a view to contributing back to the RI and spec. I'm not sure if Stan finished implementing this yet, but the syntax we proposed was:
<h:commandLink action="#{myBean.process(3, 2, anotherBean.name)}" /> for method bindings. Another thing we have in our fork is support for navigation rules like: <navigation-case> | <from-action>#{searchAction.search}</from-action> | <to-view-id>/index.jsp</to-view-id> | <redirect> | <redirect-param-name>searchPattern</redirect-param-name> | <redirect-param-value>#{searchAction.searchPattern}</redirect-param-value> | </redirect> | </navigation-case> | | | | Unfortunately, it is not possible do support either of these things without changes to JSF. | | | | Now, it is possible that we (JBoss) might decide to provide production-usable builds of our JSF fork, but the trouble with that is it would be seen to be in competition with the RI and MYFaces, which is somewhere we don't really want to be. | | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3952503#3952503 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3952503 All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
