Re: commandButton & passing a value?

[Marius Kreis]

Another way is to use <f:action type="org.host.MyClass"> or 
<f:actionListener type="org.host.MyClass"> tag.
But be aware of that only the ActionListener has access to the context 
whereas only the Action can be used for dynamic navigation.

What is the correct way to pass a value into a method when a button is 
pressed.

 

I have the situation where I have a table rendered, via h:dataTable, and 
I want to add button for each row.

So that when the button is pressed, an action starts, loads some data & 
redirects to a new page.

 

Do create a hidden textfield that’s contains the value or is there 
another way?

 

Thanks
