Dynamic ui:include in JSF - jsf

I have this code in JSF:
<ui:include rendered="#{paginaMB.pagina eq 'login'}" id="paginaSistema" src="/login.xhtml" />
<ui:include rendered="#{paginaMB.pagina eq 'noticias'}" id="paginaSistema" src="/noticias.xhtml" />
I don't know why using "rendered" both pages are displayed.
If I use this code:
<ui:include id="paginaSistema" src="#{paginaMB.pagina}.xhtml" />
the problem was solved but I have a button inside login.xhtml that uses managed bean and the managed bean is not found, no action is taken when I click on it.
How can I solve this dynamic include?

ui:include doesn't have attribute rendered
You should use ui:fragment.
<ui:fragment rendered="#{paginaMB.pagina eq 'login'}">
<ui:include id="paginaSistema" src="/login.xhtml" />
</ui:fragment>

Reuse some .xhtml pages on a JSF primefaces application

I developing a simple application using JSF and PrimeFaces and here's a problem that I'm facing:
These are managed beans that have a Person property:
ClientBean
EmployeeBean
I have the person.xhtml that shows the data from a person. I include the person.xhtml on a client.xhtml and employee.xhtml. I need to create two person.xhtml because I'm using different beans. What I want to do is something like that:
<c:set var="person" value="clientBean.person" />
<ui:include src="person.xhtml"/>
<c:set var="person" value="employeeBean.person" />
<ui:include src="person.xhtml"/>
And in my person.xhtml I can use #{person.name} , #{person.dateOfBirth}.
I searched and use <c:set/> in JSF is wrong.
Anyone can help?
Pass it as <ui:param>.
<ui:include src="person.xhtml">
<ui:param name="person" value="#{clientBean.person}" />
</ui:include>
<ui:include src="person.xhtml">
<ui:param name="person" value="#{employeeBean.person}" />
</ui:include>
Register person.xhtml if necessary as a tag file to make it look better, see also When to use <ui:include>, tag files, composite components and/or custom components?
<my:personForm value="#{clientBean.person}" />
<my:personForm value="#{employeeBean.person}" />
Beware of duplicate component ID errors. See also Avoiding duplicate ids when reusing facelets compositions in the same naming container.

Every include should refer to other instance

I include a part of the XHTML page to my Web Application. This part can be included multiple times. And that's the problem! Because every include refers to the same java object. That means that every element has the same value. But I want for each include a new Java object. So whats the best way to solve this problem?
Main page with includes:
<ui:composition template="./templates/template.xhtml">
<ui:define name="mainContent">
<ui:include src="include/includeAbleEditor.xhtml">
<ui:param name="includeParam" value="MyClass" />
</ui:include>
<ui:include src="include/includeAbleEditor.xhtml">
<ui:param name="includeParam" value="YourClass" />
</ui:include>
</ui:define>
includAbleEditor.xhtml
<h:commandButton value="#{editorVisibility.evb.value}"
action="#{editorVisibility.evb.toggle}" />
<h:inputTextarea rendered="#{editorVisibility.evb.enabled}" />
This <h:inputTextarea> is an example for my problem. Every included inputTextarea has a toggle button. By clicking the button the textarea should be shown or hidden. But because of the same reference of the boolean value all <h:inputTextarea> will always have the same rendered value.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!
You'll have to hold as many instances of editorVisibility.evb as you have editors. You could for example create a List<TypeOfEvb> evbList in your EditorVisibility bean, and pass only one element to the <ui:include> as a <ui:param>:
Main page
<ui:include src="include/includeAbleEditor.xhtml">
<ui:param name="includeParam" value="MyClass" />
<ui:param name="evb" value="#{editorVisibility.evbList[0]}" />
</ui:include>
includAbleEditor.xhtml
<h:commandButton value="#{evb.value}"
action="#{evb.toggle}" />
<h:inputTextarea rendered="#{evb.enabled}" />
You could also create a composite component.

Jsf 2.0-<ui:include>xhtml included always even if rendered is false

I have a home page xhtml where i am including 3 child xhtml based on conditions.
The issue i am facing is , whatever be the scenario,Book.xhtml always gets invoked.
I changed the rendered condition to false or move out to another condition, but the file always gets invoked Due to which its backing bean also is invoked causing unwanted overhead.
Please provide me a solution
<ui:composition template="/xhtml/baseLayout.xhtml">
<ui:define name="browserTitle">
<h:outputText value="HOME PAGE" />
</ui:define>
<ui:define name="header">
<ui:include src="/xhtml/header.xhtml" />
</ui:define>
<ui:define name="bodyContent">
<h:panelGrid width="100%"
rendered="#{pogcore:isRoleAuthorized(BUNDLE.SUPER)}" >
<ui:include src="/xhtml/SuperUser.xhtml" />
</h:panelGrid>
<h:panelGrid width="100%"
rendered="#{pogcore:isRoleAuthorized(BUNDLE.MAINTENANCE)}" >
<ui:include src="/xhtml/Maintenance.xhtml" />
</h:panelGrid>
<h:panelGrid width="100%"
rendered="#{pogcore:isRoleAuthorized(BUNDLE.PRINT)}">
<ui:include src="/xhtml/Book.xhtml" />
</h:panelGrid>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
This is happening due to lifecycle of jsf. JSF UIComponents are evaluated during view render time where as jstl tags are evaluated at build time.
So when you use rendered attribute of h:panelGrid it is too late to not invoke managed beans under the included page. To resolve this try having conditions using jstl tag, the following should work for you.
<c:if test="#{bean.yourCondition}">
<h:panelGrid width="100%">
<h:outputText value="#{bean.yourCondition}"/> <!--if this is not getting printed there is smtg wrong with your condition, ensure the syntax, the method signature is correct-->
<ui:include src="/xhtml/Book.xhtml" />
</h:panelGrid>
</c:if>
<c:if test="#{!bean.yourCondition}">
<h:outputText value="#{bean.yourCondition}"/> <!--This should print false-->
</c:if>
The document below describes the details of jstl and jsf lifecycle.
http://www.znetdevelopment.com/blogs/2008/10/18/jstl-with-jsffacelets/
Check the following document to see another way to solve this without using jstl tags.
http://pilhuhn.blogspot.com/2009/12/facelets-uiinclude-considered-powerful.html
Do this:
Always include the sub pages
Put the panelGrid (with the rendered) inside the page that you always include
Why ? Because the inclusion is performed before the rendered is evaluated.

div id not getting fetched if under c:forEach

I am trying to allocate id from backing bean to div element using below code:
<c:forEach var="item" items="#{backingBean.dataModel}">
<t:div id="xyz_#{item.id}" forceId="true" forceIdIndex="false" title="#{item.name}" style="display:none">
<ui:include src="#{item.view}">
<ui:param name="id" value="#{item.id}" />
<ui:param name="model" value="#{item.model}" />
</ui:include>
</t:div>
</c:forEach>
When page is getting loaded for the first time, it assigns correct id as inferred from backing bean. When I refresh the section of page with this code, it do not call getId method of backing bean but calls getView, getModel correctly. As a result, div has incorrect Id.
It might the case that div id is allocated prior to c:forEach execution. How do I enforce div to use Id from backing bean when it is inside c:forEach?
The id (and binding) attributes of JSF UI components are evaluated during view build time (when the JSF component tree is built for the first time), not during view render time nor during future reuse of the very same JSF component tree in subsequent postbacks to the same view.
I'm not exactly sure why you're approaching it with a <t:div> like that. It would make more sense to use a plain HTML <div> in this particular case.
<c:forEach var="item" items="#{backingBean.dataModel}">
<div id="xyz_#{item.id}" title="#{item.name}" style="display:none">
<ui:include src="#{item.view}">
<ui:param name="id" value="#{item.id}" />
<ui:param name="model" value="#{item.model}" />
</ui:include>
</div>
</c:forEach>

Why doesn't h:commandButton execute the action method when combined with c:chose?

I've seen a strange problem in my project. It's that <h:commandButton/> does not execute the action method.
<c:choose>
<c:when test="#{empty param.t}">
// HTML
</c:when>
<c:when test="#{param.t eq 'normal'}">
// HTML
<h:form>
<h:commandButton value="ADD" action="#{addBean.doSomething}" />
</h:form>
<c:when>
</c:choose>
When I move <h:form> into first c:when, then the action method is called. Otherwise, it isn't. Why?
I'll ignore the syntax error in your EL (a missing }).
The command button won't be executed when #{param.t eq 'normal'} evaluates to false at the point the form submit request is to be processed. You need to maintain the same parameter for the subsequent request so that the button will be rendered so that JSF can confirm that the enduser is allowed to invoke the action. You can do this by adding a <f:param>:
<h:form>
<h:commandButton value="ADD" action="#{addBean.doSomething}">
<f:param name="t" value="#{param.t}" />
</h:commandButton>
</h:form>
Note that this is supported since JSF 2.0 only. On JSF 1.x you'd need to replace h:commandButton by a h:commandLink if you want f:param support.
Unrelated to the concrete problem, you should try to avoid JSTL as much as possible in your JSF views. If the intent is to render view parts conditionally (not to build view parts conditionally), then you should rather be using the JSF component's rendered attribute instead of a JSTL <c:choose> or <c:if>:
<h:panelGroup rendered="#{empty param.t}">
// HTML
</h:panelGroup>
<h:panelGroup rendered="#{param.t eq 'normal'}">
// HTML
<h:form>
<h:commandButton value="ADD" action="#{addBean.doSomething}" />
</h:form>
</h:panelGroup>
