Get Form request with Seam/JSF

I have a query form that I would like to submit as a GET request so the result page may be bookmarked and otherwise RESTful. It's your classical text field with a submit button. How do I induce Seam/JSF to use GET and include the query expression as a parameter rather than POST, the default?

Solution

  • All you need to do is enable the SeamFilter in web.xml. See Blog Example for an example RESTful application using Seam. The key is to use a Seam page parameter, defined in WEB-INF/pages.xml
