Re: [Trinidad] question about the binding attribute when a parent copmonent is setting rendered to false

[Andrew Robinson <an...@gmail.com>]

The binding EL is executed during JSP tag execution (or facelets
TagHandler apply). At that time the component is created. Specifically
what happens:

1) Tag code evaluates binding to see if the component exists (your
bean created here and the getter called)
2) If component is null
2a) create the component
2b) set the binding expression using the component (you setter called here)
