Interesting...
I can successfully evaluate one call to the node i.e. #{navItem.rendered}
The problem is trying to and two node calls in the same expression i.e.
#{navItem.rendered && navItem.authorized}
I don't have the option of using the menu model, because the rendered tag
really is based on values for each node. Each node has completely different
criteria to judge whether or not it should be rendered. It is interesting that
in your example you only had one node call, but it was somehow unsuccessful.

Subject: AW: Node Stamp Facet, af:commandNavigationItem rendered attribute, and
boolean operators
Hi Jonathan!
I have the same problem here. In my experience any kind of request in rendered
against the "node" evaluates to false. Requests against the menuModel work like
expected. So
<tr:page var="node" value="#{menuModel.model}">
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<tr:commandNavigationItem text="#{node.label}"
action="#{node.getOutcome}" immediate="true" rendered="#{menuModel.rendered and
menuModel.everTrue}" />
</f:facet>
is ok, but
<tr:page var="node" value="#{menuModel.model}">
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<tr:commandNavigationItem text="#{node.label}"
action="#{node.getOutcome}" immediate="true" rendered="#{node.everTrue}" />
</f:facet>
evaluates to false.
I also worked around this via the menuModel. At the time where I encountered
this I thought this would be because me getting something wrong. So I did not
look in this issue any further and did not report it, what I do regret now.
Regards,
Thorsten

Betreff: Node Stamp Facet, af:commandNavigationItem rendered attribute, and
boolean operators
I am using the af:page component. Inside of the NodeStamp facet I am
referencing a af:commandNavigationItem with a rendered attribute.
Inside of the rendered attribute I am calling two methods on the same backing
bean and ANDing them together. For some reason this makes my navigation
hierarchy disappear.
If the rendered attribute looks like this #{navItem.rendered} it works
correctly If the rendered attribute looks like this #{navItem.authorized} it
works correctly If the rendered attribute looks like this #{navItem.rendered &&
navItem.authorized} then nothing is rendered even though both values = true.
I have used the same combination outside of the node stamp facet and the
components are rendered correctly, so it is somehow related to how the
nodestamp facet of the page component is rendered.
As a work-around I have created a method in my backing bean that performs the
anding of the two methods, so that is not a problem, I just preferred to have
these two methods separated as they stand for two different sets of criteria.
