Bean property and method access

[Patrick Bernardina]

How can I access some bean property which doesn't has an access method that starts with get? I there any way?

For value access methods, the only exception to method invocation is with boolean access methods. isSomeValue would return true or false rather than getSomeValue. This is just part of the JavaBean spec that won't change.

Now, as far as action and actionListener methods, changelisteners, etc they can have any name. So if you had a commandButton

<h:commandButton action="#{backingBean.doSomeAction}".../>

The method is:

public String doSomeAction

Ok.

Unfortunatelly I am accessing a third party class that doesn't follow the Java Bean spec.

I will make a wrapper class to solve my problem.

thanks.

Unfortunately this doesn't works with IBM's implementation.

I've actually heard that before and that is a bit strange to me.
