Re: [Solved] selectList - how to pass a parameter to backing bean method from XHTML?

[Simon Kitching]

I don't think you're going to be able to do this; it isn't natural JSF 
style. JSF el expressions don't support parameters.

You should look at other approaches to resolve whatever your problem is.

I looked at the docs on this tag <f:param> but there were no examples on how
to pass a String param to the getters in the value="#{bean.getMethod}"

I want to pass a string to getMethod(String s) listed above.  If you have
any specific examples on how to do this, it would be greatly appreciated.

I want to build a SelectItem list by calling a method in my backing bean,
but I want to be able to pass the backing bean a String (from the XHTML).

This is what I currently have:

    <h:selectOneListbox
            rendered="#{carBean.listMode}"
            id="idSelectVehicleType"
            value="#{carBean.vehicleType}"
            size="1">

        <f:selectItems id="idCarBeanTypeList"
value="#{carBean.vehicleTypeList}"/>
    </h:selectOneListbox>

where vehicleTypeList is a method in CarBean.getVehicleTypeList()

---
So I want to change the method signature to accept a String like so:

  CarBean.getVehicleTypeList(String s)

and in the XHTML pass String s to CarBean.getVehicleTypeList(String s).

Is this possible?
  value="#{carBean.vehicleTypeList("myString")}"


thanks
