Question

What I have is data table and I have method in that returns me list.

Syntax I have is

 <h:dataTable id="imageList3" 
  value="#{PersonalInformationDataBean.loadReviewReportDataByIdNewFormat()}"
  var="reviewMyList" width="80%" border="1">

What I want to do is Pass variable name #{patentMyList.patentId} name in method loadReviewReportDataByIdNewFormat(). However I am not able to do so….

Any idea how to get this done?

I know if I would had commandButton, I would have used <f:setPropertyActionListener>.

Note :

if I use, its working

 <h:dataTable id="imageList3" 
  value="#{PersonalInformationDataBean.loadReviewReportDataByIdNewFormat(1)}"
  var="reviewMyList" width="80%" border="1">

However

 <h:dataTable id="imageList3" 
  value="#{PersonalInformationDataBean.loadReviewReportDataByIdNewFormat(#{patentMyList.patentId})}"
  var="reviewMyList" width="80%" border="1">

Data type of patentId is Long.

Answer 1

The syntax #{} activates ExpressionLanguage evaluation, so you can just do:

#{yourBean.loadReviewReportDataByIdNewFormat(patentMyList.patentId)}

You may be expecting it would be like $some_variable like in PHP and other template based languages, but it’s not: once activated, you can use the plain variable names and operands.
