EL 2.2 in JbossAS 6

[Jose Rodolfo freitas]

Consider the class:

@Named
@Stateless
public class TestBean {
    private String foo = "foo";

    public String getFoo() {
        return foo;
    }

    public String testString() {
        return "testString";
    }
}

It should be possible to access both foo property and testString method through EL v2.2, right? or am I missing something?

 
<h:outputText value="#{testBean.foo}" /><br/>
<h:outputText value="#{testBean.testString}" /><br/>

I've already tried:

<h:outputText value="#{testBean.testString}" /><br/>

<h:outputText value="#{testBean.testString()}" /><br/>

<h:outputText value="${testBean.testString}" /><br/>

<h:outputText value="${testBean.testString()}" /><br/>

But the server tells that it can not find the testString property whichever way I try using the method.

-SessionBean-TestBean_$$_WeldProxy' does not have the property 'testString'.

No, that won't work.JSF value attributes refer to properties, not arbitrary Java code. To make your sample elements work, you'd need a "public String getTestString()" method.
