Question

I have an actionListener method in my managed bean which is called by many command buttons.

public void verifyTestDisponibility(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
    if (button1 clicked) {
        // ...
    }
    if (button2  clicked) {
        // ...
    }
}

The part I’m stucking at is identifying the clicked command button. How can I identify it?

Answer 1

You can use it like this

In xhtml page we can use a <h:commandButton> tag with actionListener

<h:commandButton id="btn1" action="#{yourBean.method}" value="ButtonValue"
   actionListener="#{yourBean.commandClicked}"></h:commandButton>

In your managed bean

private String buttonId;
/* getters and setters for buttonId goes here */

public void commandClicked(ActionEvent event) {
  /* retrieve buttonId which you clicked */
  buttonId = event.getComponent().getId();

  /*check for which button you clicked*/
  if(buttonId.equals("btn1")){

  }else{

  }
}
