Re: JSF action/rendered behavior

[ir. ing. Jan Dockx]

To my knowledge, that's expected behavior: rendered=false makes a component inert in all phases.

<h:commandButton value="Cancel" immediate="true" action="#{myBacker.myMethod}"  rendered="#{myBacker.editMode}" />

myBacker is a request scoped managed bean.

When the button is clicked, the backing bean is created, but myMethod does not fire.  The runtime will not complain if @action is set to myBacker.myNonExistMethod .  

The method will fire if true is the literal value of @rendered, or if the editMode property is set to true in the constructor.

It appears as though the action will not fire, if the rendered expression evaluates to false.
Can anyone explain otherwise?  More importantly, can someone educate me as to why this is a good idea?
