Question

i had mapped an Integer to h:outputText (JSF 2.0)

<h:outputText id="txt_pay_days" value="#{articleBean.noOfDays}"/>

and changed the value using jquery using

$("#txt_pay_days").text("123");

the value of integer is not changed to 123 in the bean (on the server side) .

What am i doing wrong. Or is this not the right way to do it.

Any suggestions ??

Answer 1

If you want to change on server side you need an ajax call.
You can use f:ajax

<h:commandButton value="My ajax button">
    <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{articleBean.noOfDays}" value="123" />
    <f:ajax  execute="txt_pay_days" update="txt_pay_days" />
</h:commandButton>

Execute tell which component(s) you want to process in ajax call , and update tell wich component(s) you want to update in view.

setPropertyActionListener will set the value of #{articleBean.noOfDays} .
