Retrive through uicomponent binding backing bean object

[Pierandrea Cercato <ce...@gmail.com>]

I have an HtmlInputTextArea. It has as value a property of an object of an
arrayList.

<h:inputTextarea  cols="30" binding="#{translationsBean.inputCountry}"
immediate="false" value="#{translation.localTranslation}">

Is it possible *through binding* of the component...

public HtmlInputTextarea getInputCountry() {
        return inputCountry;
    }

    public void setInputCountry(HtmlInputTextarea inputCountry) {
        this.inputCountry = inputCountry;
    }

to retrieve at runtime the corresponding backed object. Something like:

inputCountry.getBackingBeanObject




Thanks

Hi,

May I inquire what your use case is? There's a way to do it, but it's very,
very funky:

1. ValueExpression valueExpr = component.getValueExpression("value");
2. String expressionString = valueExpr.getExpressionString();
3. Parse the string the remove the last element of the EL
4. Recreate a ValueExpression object with the modified String
5. Evaluate the ValueExpression

As you see, it's complex and providing us with your real use case would
allow me to give you a better alternative.


Regards,
