Description

Since nothing seems to be happening with MYFACES-1723, I'm raising this major bug against the JSF 1.2 specification.

Summary: MyFaces 1.2.3 does not support <f:param name="id" /> under Microsoft Internet Explorer, which violates the JSF 1.2 specification;
cf. section 4.1.11 UIParameter and section 9.4.8 <f:param> the 'name' attribute of <f:param> is a String with no specific exceptions for a name of "id".

Some additional details: with myfaces-api-1.2.2.jar and myfaces-impl-1.2.2.jar, using <f:param name="id" /> works;
with myfaces-api-1.2.3.jar and myfaces-impl-1.2.3.jar using <f:param name="id" /> fails, e.g. an

<h:commandLink actionListener="#

{myController.selectId}

">
<f:param name="id" value="123" />
</h:commandLink>

when submitted does not pass the param to selectId(), that is: the value in

public void selectId(ActionEvent event)

{ final String value = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("id"); }

remains null.
