Question

I have read about passing parameters from jsf page to managedbean through actionListener. Is it also possible to pass a parameter to a simple action method?

Thank you for reading…

Thank you both for your advices! I would be lost without you 🙂

Following worked for me:

<h:commandLink id="link" action="#{overviewController.showDetails}" >
   <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{overviewController.show_id}" value="#{project.id}" />
   <h:outputText value="#{project.title}" />
</h:commandLink>

So now who deserves the green tick? 😛 can I give two of them?

Answer 1

Yes. Either:

action="#{bean.method(param)}"

Or

<h:commandButton .. >
    <f:setPropertyActionListener
         target="#{bean.targetProperty}" value="#{param}" />
</h:commandbutton>

(and use the bean property in the method)
