getIsDisabled/setIsDisabled

[h b <hb...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I have the following backing bean:
//not actual code
public class Foo { private boolean isBar; public Foo() {}; public boolean
isBar() {return this.isBar;} public void setBar(boolean isBar) {
this.isBar= isBar;} }

in my jsf I the following:
<h:commandLink disabled="#{foo.isBar}"/>

It is complaining because it can't find the property isBar...I have to
actually change my foo class to getIsBar() and setIsBar() then it work.

I'm new to JSF & MyFaces...am I missing something?

Thanks

Try <h:commandLink disabled="#{foo.bar}"/>

getters for boolean properties are supposed to be named 'isProperty()'
for all other objects or primitive types it's 'getProperty()'.

christoph

EL uses the JavaBeans standard.  So, the disable EL attribute should be 
"#{foo.bar}" and EL will use the isBar():boolean method to retrieve the 
value.  You must not include the "is" portion of the method name.
