Re: How to call a method in the backing bean from a JSF page

Thanks for your response. I guess I didn't make me clear here. My question 
is how to call a method in the backing bean from a JSF page without 
rendering out anything to the screen.

The value attribute should be a *value* binding expression.  It must
bind to a *property*.  So you do something like this ...

value=#{theBackingBean.foo}"

and in your backing bean you have

public String getFoo()
{ ... }

public void setFoo(String fooValue)
{ ... }

Hi,

I'm wondering what's the correct way to call a method in the backing bean
from a JSF page. What I tried is to use <h:outputText
value="#{theBackingBean.theMethod}" />, the backing bean method returns 
an
empty string, so nothing gets printed out in the page. Which works, but I 
am
not sure this is the correct way to do it.

thanks,
