I would like to know is there any way to hide/show links to certain pages by using the rendered jsf tag in conjunction with a bean method.
for eg. rendered="#{sidebarController.isGrantedAcess("Admin")} doesn't work

In JSF, I wonder how a ManagedBean understands that it should be available to an xhtml or facelet ?
To bind component values and objects to managed bean properties or to reference managed bean methods from component tags, page authors should use the Expression Language syntax.
When user make request to the page that contains EL, that refers to specific manage bean, this bean will be instantiated by JSF framework (except managed beans that have attribute eager="true", that means that managed bean is created before it is requested for the first time).
So the fact is that managed bean will be instantiated by JSF container and works as a model for the appropriate UI Component so the Facelet will know about the Bean, not vice versa
I have a .xhtml model with a primeface datatable in it.
I call the page with an URL like this:
http://localhost:8080/myproject/mypage.jsf?Id=51&startDate=04-05-2015&name=whatever
The URL parameters are used to retrieve what will be displayed in the datatable, so it allow me to filter the content.
I used URL parameter because this page is displayed when I select a row in another datable so I have to make a manual redirect to this page on the baking bean.
However everytime I use one of primeface functionality like sorting or pagination primeface seems to do an ajax call to the backing bean but WITHOUT the parameters, so every object are displayed instead of a filtered list of Objects.
Therefore how can I force primefaces to use these parameters? Or how can I pass them to primefaces scope (they are #ManagedProperty on the backing bean)
The best and easiest way is to use the OmniFaces utility library and more specifically their <o:form>.
From the documentation:
The <o:form> is a component that extends the standard <h:form> and provides a way to keep view or request parameters in the request URL after a post-back
...
You can use it the same way as <h:form>, you only need to change h: to o:.
So, replace your <h:form> by either
<o:form includeRequestParams="true">
or
<o:form useRequestURI="true">

I am new to JSF and getting very confused doing something trivial. I am making up this example here to elaborate what I am want to do:
I have a xhtml fragment, say, stockQuoteFragment.xhtml, which is backed by a ManagedBean, say, StockQuoteService.java. StockQuoteService.java has property stockID and a method getStockQuote() which has all the logic to get the stockQuote for the value set on stockID property. stockQuoteFragment.xhtml displays #stockQuoteService.stockQuote.
Now I have another page Home.xhtml page with backing bean HomeBackingBean.java with a method getUserFavoriteStockID(). I want to include content of stockQuoteFragment.xhtml in Home.xhtml passing in the value of #homeBackingBean.userFavoriteStockID to StockQuoteService.setStockID().
I am not sure how to do this in JSF/Facelets. With simple JSPs I could do this easily with a JSP include and include parameters
No.
...According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute var does not accept any expressions.
I have just tried it.
But if you use pure XML based JSF with tags, you can easily use <ui:param> as discussed here. I use JSF in JSP and for me there is no help (<c:set> is mostly useless).
Can I just do this in Home.xhtml before I ui:include stockQuoteFragment.xhtml into it:
<c:set var="#{StockQuoteService.stockID}" value="#homeBackingBean.userFavoriteStockID"/>
will that work?
Is there a JSF 2.1 component which lets me conditionally render (or not render) all its content? Something like
<h:component rendered="#{user.loggedIn}">
...a bunch of jsf components and HTML code...
...even more HTML code...
</h:component>
I am using PrimeFaces 3M4 as this may influence your answer!
<h:panelGroup>
If you set attribute layout="block", you will have a <div> tag
Otherwise, you have a <span> tag.
In general most of jsf components support the render attribute (never bumped in some that does not),
container components like h:panelGrid or h:panelGroup supports the rendered attribute and if its set to false all its child will be hidden too
Same goes for the primefaces components ,and if not it probably a bug (i think there was an issue with tabview of primefaces)
Here's a link for primefaces user guide, you can find supported attributes of all primefaces components there User’s Guide for 3.0.M4
I have an iframe like this
<iframe src="path/of/destiny"></iframe>
and I want to write something like this
<iframe src="path/of/destiny?#{myParameter}"></iframe>
That should be possible if you're using Facelets as view technology. But since you're asking this question, I assume that you're still using the legacy JSP as view technology. JSP doesn't allow deferred EL (#{}) in template text as Facelets does. You can however use standard EL (${}) in template text.
<iframe src="path/of/destiny?${myParameter}"></iframe>
You only need to take into account that whenever this has to be obtained as a JSF managed bean property like ${bean.myParameter}, that this bean is already been created and available in the scope. You can ensure this by calling #{bean.something} in a fullworthy JSF component somewhere before the line with the <iframe>. The #{} will create the bean if not created yet.
