-----Original Message----- i think navigation is ok... i fear that some how the param is not passed to the managed bean
if I check it in my action method it is null -----/Original Message----- Well in the code you showed earlier there was no check for the parameter. -----Original Message----- public String showUserDetail(){ setName("pine"); setId(1); return "ok"; } -----/Original Message----- I would expect something like FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext() .getRequestMap().get("id"); Then, I would propose a more specific name, as id is too easily "reused" by some framework... (ok THEY should use better names, but...) hth Alexander
