getting value of command link which is in series panel

[sam sami]

I am using the panelSeries component to iterate over a list of items and dynamically create commandLinks with different values and the same actionListener.

When I hard-code the value inside the command Link it is available in the actionListener method in the backing bean, but when i try to assign the value dynamically it is not available in the action listener.

What I do is :


Code:

<ice:panelSeries id="item" value="#{PackageDef.allAssignedItems}" var="item">
 <ice:outputText value="#{item.name}" />
 <ice:commandLink value="#{item.name}" actionListener="#{PackageDef.test}" />
 </ice:panelSeries>

my action listener :

public void test(ActionEvent actionEvent){
HtmlCommandLink commandLink = (HtmlCommandLink) actionEvent.getSource();
System.out.println(commandLink.getValue());
}

when i try:

Code:

<ice:commandLink value="1" actionListener="#{PackageDef.test}" />




the value is available ...


so can any one help me to find out how to get value of selected command link in backing bean.

Hi Sam

One way to solve your problem is passing a parameter or an attribute from your ice:commandLink, for example you can use a paramenter in the command link so <f:param name="actionName" value="#{item.name}" /> and you can get this value in your backing bean, I post an example of how to do this in the following post Passing values from UI.
