Hi,
I am learning seam and following a very famous book Seam In Action by Dan Allen.
This is an example from this book.
Seam 2.2.0.GA
JBoss 5.1.0.GA
Here the page parameter roundId is always null even after a round is serialized, it is never passed. Neither to Roud.xhtml nor to RoundEdit.xhtml after clicking save on RoundEdit.xhtml. The entity always stays unmanaged.
