Question

Is there a way to submit a form and have the URL include the parameters, that is submit as a GET request.. rather than POST?

form.jsf/?firstName=John&lastName=Doe

I thought would work (instead of the normal , however it doesn’t seem to grab the form data.. any ideas?

Answer 1

yes you can with preRenderViewEvent
you can have something like this in view

 <f:metadata>
    <f:viewParam name="team" value="#{teamEditView.team}"/>
 </f:metadata>
 <f:event type="preRenderView" listener="#{teamEditView.setupEditPage}"/> 

where you can pas view params and invoke the listener and fetch data acording to params in that listener method.
