How to call method expression with parameters? - jsf

Question

Can i pass an expression as a method expression parameter like this ?
<p:dataTable id="gridRPBDetails" var="rpbDetail"
value="#{tInputBean.detailList}"
selection="#{tInputBean.selectedDetails}">
....
<p:commandButton
process="#this"
action="#{tInputBean.querySubAnggaranListImpl(rpbDetail.map['budget'])}" ... />
....
</p:datatable>
I tried this but ended with exception :

Here's my action method (please note that rpbDetail.map['budget'] is a type of DataTransferObject, so it should fit right in) :
public void querySubAnggaranListImpl(DataTransferObject budget) {
DebugUtil.start("querySubAnggaranListImpl");
String budgetId = budget.getString("id");
// cari subbudgetlist berdasarkan budgetId
this.comboChainSubAnggaranList = ch.execute("common", "GetSubBudgetList",
new DataTransferObject()
.putString("budgetId", budgetId))
.getList("result");
DebugUtil.end("querySubAnggaranListImpl");
}
I tried this out of deperation : action="#{tInputBean.querySubAnggaranListImpl(#{rpbDetail.map['budget']})}", and ended up with this error message on my browser :
/TInput.xhtml #161,40
action="#{tInputBean.querySubAnggaranListImpl(#{rpbDetail.map['budget']})}"
The identifier [#] is not a valid Java
identifier as required by section 1.19
of the EL specification (Identifier
::= Java language identifier). This
check can be disabled by setting the
system property
org.apache.el.parser.SKIP_IDENTIFIER_CHECK
to true.
How can i pass the parameter to the method expression like my case above ?
Thank you !

Answer 1

I finally found out that this was my mistake. It should be
rpbDetail.map.subBudget.map.budget.
rpbDetail.map.budget returns null, hence the NullPointerException.
