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?

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
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 need to complete a xhtml page with some JSF code (with p:panel and p:datatables, etc.) from a managed bean, but I'm not sure that is possible.
My attemps:
1º
<h:outputText escape="true" value="#{controller.jsfString}"/>
It's not be able to understand "p:" components, only simple html.
2º
<ui:include src="#{controller.jsfString}">
It expects a xhtml path, not a String.
I don't know what else try... Is it even possible?
It's not be able to understand "p:" components, only simple html.
Of course it is not!
The h:outputText value is evaluated at view render time, so if you render JSF tags, they won't be evaluated again since rendering is done.
In principle, it could have been possible to add JSF tags this way using the JSTL <c:out>, but it is not available in JSF facelets.
Anyway, just tell yourself that it prevents you from making bad design.
We'll need more information regarding what the controller is supposed to output in order to help you.
Here p means prime-faces u need to include prime-faces dependency in pom and enable tag lib for prime-faces in XHTML then u can use the all the prime-faces components.
I am using PrimeFaces and JSF - I need to be able to set a component on the page as mandatory in response to an AJAX event. Is the best way to accomplish this using the following code or is there also a way to accomplish it using JQuery ?
Thanks
UIInput componentToChange = (UIInput) facesContext.getViewRoot().findComponent("ComponentId");
componentToChange.setRequired(true);
Thanks
Just set the component's required attribute with the desired EL expression.
E.g.
<h:inputText ... required="#{bean.required}" />
There are even EL ways without needing an additional bean property, but it's impossible to propose one based on the sparse information provided so far.
Use findComponent() with care. Think twice if it really can't be done just in the view (XHTML) side.
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.
