How to get managedbean property from another bean in JSF - jsf

I searched similar questions but I'm a bit confused. I have a login page, so LoginBean also which is;
#ManagedBean(name = "loginBean")
#SessionScoped
public class LoginBean implements Serializable {
private String password="";
private String image="";
#ManagedProperty(value = "#{loginBeanIdentityNr}")
private String identityNr="";
...
after success, navigates to orderlist page, so I have also OrderBean.
#ManagedBean(name = "OrderBean")
#SessionScoped
public class OrderBean {
List<Ordery> sdList;
public List<Order> getSdList() {
try {
String identityNr ="";
ELContext elContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getELContext();
LoginBean lBean = (LoginBean) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().getELResolver().getValue(elContext, null, "loginBean");
identityNr =lBean.getIdentityNr();
sdList = DatabaseUtil.getOrderByIdentityNr(identityNr);
...
}
I don't need the whole LoginBean, just ManagedProperty "loginBeanIdentityNr". But this code below doesn't work (of course);
identityNr = (String) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
.getApplication().getELResolver()
.getValue(elContext, null, "loginBeanIdentityNr");
this time it returns null to me.
I think if I need whole bean property, I can inject these beans, right? So, do you have any suggestions for this approach? can<f:attribute> be used?

The #ManagedProperty declares the location where JSF should set the property, not where JSF should "export" the property. You need to just inject the LoginBean as property of OrderBean.
public class OrderBean {
#ManagedProperty(value="#{loginBean}")
private LoginBean loginBean; // +setter
// ...
}
This way you can access it in the OrderBean by just
loginBean.getIdentityNr();
Alternatively, if you make your OrderBean request or view scoped, then you can also set only the identityNr property.
public class OrderBean {
#ManagedProperty(value="#{loginBean.identityNr}")
private String identityNr; // +setter
// ...
}
Unrelated to the concrete problem: initializing String properties with an empty string is a poor practice.

Passing value between JSF Forms. I can't get it to work

I read the other posts about this subject but I still can't get it to work
This are my beans:
Bean1:
#ManagedBean()
#SessionScoped
public class Bean1 implements Serializable {
//Here are some important Properties
public String buttonPressed() {
return "bean2.xhtml";
}
}
<h:form>
<p:commandButton action="#{Bean1.buttonPressed}" value="Do Work"/>
</h:form>
Bean2:
#ManagedBean()
#SessionScoped
public class Bean2 implements Serializable {
#ManagedProperty(value = "#{Bean1}")
private Bean1 b1;
//getter/setter is here
public String doWorkOnSubmit() {
//Access important Properties from bean1
b1.getFoo()
}
}
Now I have two Problems
1.) How to call "doWorkOnSubmit" if the button in Bean1 is pressed? I can't use the constructor because it's SessionScoped and I don't know how to call doWorkOnSubmit un submit
2.)The managed property "b1" is sometimes null
Since on clicking of Do Work button you are calling Bean1.buttonPressed() action method you can call Bean2s doWorkOnSubmit() by injecting Bean2 in Bean1.
Here is your code altered:
#ManagedBean()
#SessionScoped
public class Bean1 implements Serializable {
//Here are some important Properties
/*
* Inject Bean2 here. since both beans are session scoped,
* there ain't gonna be any problem in injection.
*/
#ManagedProperty(value = "#{Bean2}")
private Bean2 b2;
//GETTER SETTER for b2
public String buttonPressed() {
//Here you will be invoking injected managed beans method.
b2.doWorkOnSubmit();
return "bean2.xhtml";
}
}

lazy initialization of CDI injected bean in setter

So I have a bean which contains a category field. If that category field is set to a specific value, for instance "MATCH" I want to initialize a bean. However doing it in the setter of the category is kind of an anti pattern and I'd like to know if in this case that could be considered alright or maybe there is a better way to do it.
I don't want to use postConstruct because the bean is used a really low percentage of the time. So having DB calls in PostConstruct is non sens in my opinion in this case.
#Named
#ViewScoped
public class BeanA implements Serializable {
private Category category;
#Inject
private MatchCreation matchCreation;
public void setCategory(Category category) {
this.category = category;
if("MATCH".equals(category.getName()){
matchCreation.init(); // I'll put a check here to not initialize it twice
}
}
}
#Named
#ViewScoped
public class MatchCreation {
private List<Team> teamList;
private List<Map> mapList;
#EJB
private TeamService ts;
#EJB
private MapService ms;
public void init() {
teamList = ts.getProTeams();
setMapList(ms.getAllMaps());
}
}
Also in that particular bean I have 9 injections. I don't have to be afraid to use those right, I don't have to try to have the bare minimum ?

Why cant I get the value of a SessionScoped bean in the constructor of another bean?

I have this SessionScoped bean:
#ManagedBean
#SessionScoped
public class LoginBean implements Serializable {
/**
* Creates a new instance of LoginBean
*/
public LoginBean() {
this.usuario = new Usuario();
}
private Usuario usuario;
//getter & setter
}
The Usuario class:
public class Usuario {
public Usuario() {
}
private String password;
private String nombre;
private int idPlanta;
private int nivel;
private String idUsuario;
//getters & setters
}
And I want to get the value of the property idPlanta from the SessionScoped bean (LoginBean) here (in the constructor) see the comments:
#ManagedBean
#ViewScoped
public class PrincipalBean implements Serializable {
public PrincipalBean() {
System.out.println(this.login.getUsuario().getIdPlanta());
//AT THIS POINT THE VALUE OF idPlanta IS 0 but in the session I have 1...
//Method that uses the idPlanta value as a parameter
}
#ManagedProperty(value = "#{loginBean}")
private LoginBean login;
public LoginBean getLogin() {
return login;
}
public void setLogin(LoginBean login) {
this.login = login;
}
}
But when I show the value in the view it shows the value that really is in the Session idPlanta = 1. I dont understand why I cant get the value of that property in the constructor of that ViewScoped bean (PrincipalBean). I show the value in the view here(I know I can get it directly fron the LoginBean but this is just to show that the property login in PrincipalBean has the Session value):
<h:outputText class="titulo" value="Bienvenido(a) #{principalBean.login.usuario.nombre} Planta #{principalBean.login.usuario.idPlanta}" />
The value of idPlanta in PrincipalBean is very important because I use it as a method parameter to show more info when the view is showed.
Please help me. I still learning JSF.
You need to be using these values after the bean has been constructed. When your constructor is called, your bean has net yet been initialzed - therefore the injections have not yet happend. Using the #PostConstruct method you will be able to access the desired values from the injected objects.
For example :
#ManagedBean
#ViewScoped
public class PrincipalBean implements Serializable {
public PrincipalBean() {
}
#PostConstruct
public init() {
System.out.println(this.login.getUsuario().getIdPlanta());
//AT THIS POINT THE VALUE OF idPlanta IS 0 but in the session I have 1...
//Method that uses the idPlanta value as a parameter
}
#ManagedProperty(value = "#{loginBean}")
private LoginBean login;
public LoginBean getLogin() {
return login;
}
public void setLogin(LoginBean login) {
this.login = login;
}
}

getselectednode from another bean (primefaces)

I have a ManagedBean of a treeNode and other managed bean where i would like to get the selectedNode and from getType i would like to execute some code but the problem i can't get the selectedNode cause every time i get this:
java.lang.NullPointerException: javax.faces.FacesException: #{dimMan.makeDim()}: java.lang.NullPointerException
and this is my two Managed bean:
#ManagedBean
#ViewScoped
public class TreeBean implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 2417620239014385855L;
private TreeNode root;
private TreeNode selectedNode;
.....
and the other one where i would like to make a test of the type of selected node:
#ManagedBean(name = "dimMan")
#SessionScoped
public class DimenssionManaged {
#EJB
DimensionDaoRemote dimService;
#Inject
TreeBean treeSelected;
String select;
public TreeBean getTreeSelected() {
return treeSelected;
}
public void setTreeSelected(TreeBean treeSelected) {
this.treeSelected = treeSelected;
}
public void makeDim(){
System.out.println("adding dimen");
fkey=tTable.getSelectedFk();
dimUpdate.setFk_dimension(fkey);
dimUpdate.setType_dimension(selectedType);
select=treeSelected.getSelectedNode().getParent().getType();
System.out.println(select);
if (select=="cube"){
CubeBase cub=cubManged.getCubUpdate();
dimUpdate.setCube(cub);
dimService.creat_dimension(dimUpdate);
}
else {
SchemaBase sh=shmanged.getSchema();
dimUpdate.setSchema(sh);
dimService.creat_dimension(dimUpdate);
}
}
i try also to use this annotation #ManagedProperty(value =***) but it didn't work to so what should i do to get the selectedNode type from in other ManagedBean ?
DimenssionManaged ManagedBean associated with other page? If so once you navigate TreeBean will loose its data since its in #ViewScoped.
Change TreeBean to #SessionScoped to retain the the data even after navigation, but clearing/refreshing the data again is a concern.

How to access property of one managed bean in another managed bean

I have a managed bean (SessionScope as follow)
#ManagedBean(name="login")
#SessionScoped
public class Login implements Serializable {
private String userSession;
public Login(){
}
}
In this managedbean, somewhere in the login function, i store the email as a session.
I have another managed bean called ChangePassword (ViewScoped). I need to access the value of the email which is stored in the userSession.
The reason of doing so is that i need to find out the current userSession(email) before i can complete the change password function. (Need change password for that specific email)
How do i do so? New to JSF, appreciate any help!
Just inject the one bean as a managed property of the other bean.
#ManagedBean
#ViewScoped
public class ChangePassword {
#ManagedProperty("#{login}")
private Login login; // +setter (no getter!)
public void submit() {
// ... (the login bean is available here)
}
// ...
}

Communication in JSF 2.0 - Injecting managed beans in each other
In JSF2, I usually use a method like this:
public static Object getSessionObject(String objName) {
FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext extCtx = ctx.getExternalContext();
Map<String, Object> sessionMap = extCtx.getSessionMap();
return sessionMap.get(objName);
}
The input parameter is the name of your bean.
if your session scoped bean is like this :
#ManagedBean(name="login")
#SessionScoped
public class Login implements Serializable {
private String userSession;
public Login(){
}
}
you can access the values of this bean like :
#ManagedBean(name="changePassword")
#ViewScoped
public class ChangePassword implements Serializable {
#ManagedProperty(value="#{login.userSession}")
private String userSession;
public ChangePassword (){
}
}
public static Object getSessionObj(String id) {
return FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionMap().get(id);
}
public static void setSessionObj(String id,Object obj){
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionMap().put(id, obj);
}
Add them in your managed bean :
