Question

how can I get the value of a component, eg by id? Without backing bean?

This does not work:

<h:outputText value="test" id="testID" />
<h:outputText value="#{param[testID]}" />

Would this work for you?

<h:outputText binding="#{test}" value="testValue"/>
<h:outputText value="#{test.value}" />

This should bind the first component to name “test”, set its value to “testValue” and the second component refers to the first one’s value.
