Hi Michael,
No problem ;)
I don't think it's a bug in the Unified EL impl of tomcat. It's rather a
specification bug or just not wanted by the spec. However, I don't know the
unified EL spec very well, so I don't know it exactly.
To your problem: you can resolve any EL expression in the managed bean
method using the ExpressionFactory, for example:
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
facesContext.getApplication().getExpressionFactory().createValueExpression(facesContext.getELContext(),
"#{searchEntry.type=='dateForm'}",
Boolean.class).getValue(facesContext.getELContext());
This is also true for those objects, which are generated by the t:dataList,
because the property in the managed bean is evaluated while the objects are
in the request scope. Just try it!
However, a better method would be to use the binding attribute of the
t:dataList, for example binding = #{bean.myDataTable}. Then you can access
the current row data inside the managed bean with myDataTable.getRowData()
(the type of myDataTable is
org.apache.myfaces.component.html.ext.HtmlDataTable).
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Jakob
