Hi!
the problem may be that a your calculation returns an int but the el statement
has to return an String. So do the calculation in your managed bean and return
the result as a String.
Thanks for the reply. I had expected that the value would be coerced
into the proper type tho, as in other EL statements. Is this a bug or
the right thing? If this implementation is correct, is there anyway to
convert the calculation to a string? I really don't like the idea of
having to do the calculation in the backing bean cause then my page
designers can't easily vary the size of the image. I could put it in
the faces-config.xml, but that would still require them to restart their
tomcat instance just to make a change to the page layout/display.
Right now I've got a workaround. It's rather messy but it works. I
basically use the plain old <img> tag and do a couple of <h:outputText>
in the attributes to make sure the image path contains the contextPath
and then one to perform and output the calculation in the height
attribute. Like I said, it's rather messy, but it works and allows the
page designers to make better control over the page layout and display.

Hello everyone,
I'm working on a report that has a bar chart. I thought the easiest way
to display it would be to use something like:
<h:graphicImage url="/images/visual_bar_1.gif" width="46"
height="#{reportHandler.score * 18}" border="0" />
But that horks with:
java.lang.ClassCastException

javax.faces.component.html.HtmlGraphicImage.getHeight(HtmlGraphicImage.java:95)

Can I not set the height to some calculated value?
Thanks,
Rich
