Question

I’m generating text inputs in an iterator from a collection I find in a managed bean.

How can I dynamically display the label with a resource bundle message I receive from this bean?

<af:iterator id="i3" var="myVar" value="#{pageFlowScope.MyBean.myCollection}">
<af:inputText id="it4" label="#{myVar.name}" value="#{myVar.value}" />
</af:iterator>

Here, myVar.name is a String representation of a key present in the bundle, like button.label.field or anything else.

Is it possible to pass this String as a parameter to my bundle reference?

Something like: label="#{myBundle[ #{myVar.name} ]}"?

I tried with c:set and with ui:param like proposed in this thread but it doesn’t work.

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

I’ve been stupid, and finally found the answer… My resource bundle was empty (deleted it and then forgot to fill it again).

So this is the solution:

<c:set var="nameKey" value="#{myVar.name}"/>
<af:inputText id="it4" value="#{bc2Field.value}" label="#{helpdeskBundle[nameKey]}"/>
