How to access f:attribute

["Matta, Keerthi" <Ke...@ibtco.com>]

Hi,

 

I have a requirement around component level security, depending on the
user role a particular component in the page should be displayed.

I am trying to achieve this functionality by identifying the component
which is having a specific attribute called "needProtection".

I am trying to retrieve this information about the component in the
PhaseListener, and depending on the role I am trying to update rendered
property of the component to "true" or "false".

I am setting a component as follows in the JSP page:

 

<h:commandButton value="submit" style="width:95px"
action="#{actionHandler.login}">

      <f:attribute name="needProtection" value="AOP"/>

</h:commandButton>

 

I am calling the following method to get attribute information:

 

if (component.getAttributes().containsKey("needProtection ")) {

                                      String fieldRefValue =
component.getAttributes().get("needProtection ").toString();

                                      if(needProtection.equals("AOP")) {

 
component.setRendered(false);

                                      }

                             }

 

The problem I am currently facing is, I am not able to retrieve the
attribute information set in the JSP page in the PhaseListener.

A snippet of code which is able to retrieve attribute information would
be helpful very much.

 

Thanks in advance,

Keerthi
