FacesContext/VariableResolver to get bean - how to set a bean?

[Jeffrey Porter <PO...@WMGMAIL.wmg.warwick.ac.uk>]

 

I understand how to get a bean from a jsp using FacesContext &
VariableResolver.

 

Yet when I redirect to a new page I want it to display a form containing
data from a bean I've already populated.

 

I can do this with tables since I've created a managed-bean that is used
in a h:dataTable tag.

 

But with a page that has textfields/radio buttons etc. How do I populate
them?

 

Hope my question makes sense. 

 

If anyone can point me in the direction of some info, it would be great.

 

Thank

Jeff

You'd just set the value attribute of the component to point to your
managed bean.

<h:outputText id="workNumberInput" value="#{myManagedBean.workNumber}"/>

If "myManagedBean" has request scope, you'll need to preserve it using
t:saveState so it's still available on the next page.   I'm not
certain that you can do this if you use a <redirect /> tag in your
navigation rules, so you'd have to use some other method to preserve
them (session-scoped bean, maybe, or change to server-side state
management.)
