Hi The javadoc of ui:param says this:
"...Use this tag to pass parameters to an included file (using ui:include), or a template (linked to either a composition or decorator). Embed ui:param tags in either ui:include, ui:composition, or ui:decorate to pass the parameters. ..." In myfaces this was explained in [1] . Before that change ui:param just added a param to the current variable resolver, just like c:set does, but note that is not what the spec says. Use ui:param inside ui:decorate but not inside ui:define. regards, Leonardo Uribe [1] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/myfaces-dev/201106.mbox/%[email protected]%3E 2011/12/15 Mike Kienenberger <[email protected]>: > Under JSF 1.2 and Facelets, you could specify a ui:param value as a child > of ui:decorate, and it would be used in any included files. > Under JSF 2.1, the ui:param value evaluates to null in the included files > unless it is passed as a child of the ui:include. > > Is this a bug or a spec-required change in behavior? > > =========== template.xhtml ================= > <html> > ... > <ui:insert name="body" /> > ... > </html> > =========== template.xhtml ================= > > > =========== somepage.xhtml ================= > <ui:decorate template="/pages/include/template.xhtml" > ...> > > <ui:define name="body"> > <ui:param name="sourcePage" value="#{sourcePageBeanExpression}" /> > > // This included page would have a null sourcePage (worked under > JSF1.2/Facelets) > <ui:include src="includedFragment.xhtml"> > </ui:include> > > // This included page would have a valid sourcePage > <ui:include src="includedFragment.xhtml"> > <ui:param name="sourcePage" > value="#{sourcePageBeanExpression}" /> > </ui:include> > > </ui:define> > <ui:decorate> > =========== somepage.xhtml ================= > > > =========== includedFragment.xhtml ================= > <ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; > ...> > > <ui:param name="myBean" > value="#{sourcePage.specificIncludedBeanBehavior}"/> > > <h:outputText value="#{myBean.valueString}" /> > <h:panelGrid binding="#{myBean.messagePanel}" /> > etc > > </ui:composition> > =========== includedFragment.xhtml =================
