pass parameter to binding method

[Rajeev Ravindran]

Hi,

Is there any way to pass a parameter to the binding method of a component. If i understood properly, the binding methods are invoked before the component get rendered so its not possible to add <f:atrribute to the component and get the value retreived in the binding method.

any alternate solution ?

Thanks,
Rajeev.

nope that's not really what i am looking for.

I would like to know if its possible to pass parameter to the binding method of a component, not the action method. As fas as i know, binding methods are invoked before the component got rendered so it may not be possible to pass an attribute or parameter to the binding method.

Thanks,

Currently that is one of the limitation of the JSF framework. I guess it's really the limitation of JSTL.

You cannot invoke a method (both Action as well as binding methods) with any parameters.

Hi "g" -

Please update your display name to match the JavaRanch naming policy - we've found that when people use their full names things stay friendlier!

Thanks,
