What is objType. is it a string? do you have the case correct? also
your 'rectangle' check is missing the last single quote.
The EL should not be evaluated until render time, so if the rendered =
false, then it should not be executed. Try this to make sure your
checks are correct:
<ui:repeat var="graphicsObj" value="#{graphicsObjList}">
Circle: <h:outputText value="#{graphicsObj.objType eq 'circle'}" />
Rectangle: <h:outputText value="#{graphicsObj.objType eq 'rectangle'}" />
Class: <h:outputText value="#{graphicsObj.class.name}" />
</ui:repeat>
Hopefully that may shed some light. If not, post the results and your
'graphicsObj' java code and perhaps we can find something there.

I am iterating over a list of Graphics entity objects, and am

Based on the type of the object, I am calling the object-specific
method such as getRadius() or getLength(). This gives the following error.
javax.faces.el.PropertyNotFoundException: /graphicsView.xhtml @31,80
value="#{graphicsObj.radius}": Bean: com.serviceramp.model.Rectangle,
property: radius
It appears that even when the object is of type rectangle, it executed
the first block of code, and is calling the getRadius() method.
However, if I replace the HTMLInputText with HTMLOutputText, as in the
code below, it works perfectly.
<ui:repeat var="graphicsObj" value="#{graphicsObjList}">
<h:panelGroup rendered="#{graphicsObj.objType == 'circle'}" >
<h:outputText value="Found circle with radius:
#{graphicsObj.radius}"/>
</h:panelGroup>
<h:panelGroup rendered="#{graphicsObj.objType == 'rectangle}" >
<h:outputText value="Found rectangle with length:
#{graphicsObj.length}"/>
</h:panelGroup>
</ui:repeat>
What is going wrong here? How can I get the desired effect of creating
dynamic input components?
Thanks,
