rendering a string
Hi,
how to render a string whose value is the jsf tag itself?
example:
a string barCode is assembled on myBean. Its value is something like
<img src='b.gif' width= ' 1' height=50' border='0'><img src='w.gif'
width= ' 1' height=50' border='0'> ....
I need it rendered on the page, but if I use <h:outputText
value="#{myBean.barCode}"/>, I get the string as is. Obviously, if I
write this tag direct on page, I see the bar code.
Thanks.
Regards,
Airton

Hi Airton.
Why do you generate the html yourself? JSF should do this for you...
Just create a new HtmlGraphicImage, set the attributs as you like and
then add it as a child to an existing component which you can get using
UIViewRoot.getComponentByI() or something like this....

Well in this case you're ignoring the great benefits of jsf....
The big deal about jsf is that you can handle HTML tags like components
of a user interface. I'm sure the web will tell you something about the
component tree in jsf and how it is built.
If you know about this, then you understand that you can add your tag as
an object (component) to the page and forget about html in your code.
Btw my first mail got something like a short info about how to insert
the component.

Hello again.
Nice having solved at least one problem. Let's face the next one.
It sounds to me as if you create a string in your backing bean, which
represents a jsf-tag, e.g. $tag = "<h:outputText value=\"hello world\">";
Is this correct?
And now you want to insert this string into your page and get it rendered?

You're right, sorry.
I've got confused with two problems I have: one I've posted you've
answered and it's ok.
The other one, I have had not mentioned, I need to render the entire
tag stored on a string (not the string as is).
Thank you very much.

Airton

Well than I didn't get the point... and I still don't get it.
I thought you want to output your <img>-Tags to actually diplay the
images (which assemble a barcode?) at the webpage. In this case you use
escape="false". But if you want to output the tag as-is, then the
parameter escape="true" should do...

Marius,
escape="false" works inside the tag, ex:
<h:outputText escape="false" value="<b>boldText</b>"/>
will render 'boldText' in bold, but neither '<b>' nor '</b>'.
My needed is to render all the tag (<h:outputText.../>) stored in a
var on myBean class.
Thanks.

To answer your question:
<h:outputText value="#{myBean.barCode}" escape="false"/>
should work.
