Question

I’m currently stuck on a JavaScript / JSF issue.

The project I’m working on is a Seam 2 project and this is what I’m trying to do:

• On a certain page with a calendar
  view the user can select multiple
  calendar days within one month. The
  list of selected days is kept on the
  client-side using JavaScript (stored
  in a JavaScript array)
• Now when the users presses a command link button I want to call my
  component like this: <h:commandButton
value="View Details"
action="#{myComponent.dateSelection}"/>
• So far so good, however I want to be able to pass my Javascript array to this
  method as I need that data on my backend.

Does anyone knows a way to add my JS var as parameter of my component call?

Thanks for helping!

I don’t really see how you are doing things, because there is no code in your question, but a standard way of doing this is to use hidden form fields linked to an attribute of your backing bean, which you can fill using javascript.
