copied!<p>Check <a href="http://balusc.blogspot.com/2006/06/communication-in-jsf.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> out. I have the same problems as you, but i solved it after reading <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/157882/balusc">BalusC</a>'s link.</p> <p>For short, there's what u're talking abt:</p> <p><strong><em>f:attribute:</strong> with the <strong>h:commandLink</strong> and <strong>h:commandButton</strong> tags you can also trigger a method of the backing bean using the <strong>actionListener</strong> attribute. With this you can also use the f:attribute tag to dynamically pass the parameters. Here is an example:</em></p> <pre><code><h:form> <h:commandLink value="Click here" actionListener="#{myBean.action}"> <f:attribute name="attributeName1" value="attributeValue1" /> <f:attribute name="attributeName2" value="attributeValue2" /> </h:commandLink> <h:commandButton value="Press here" actionListener="#{myBean.action}"> <f:attribute name="attributeName1" value="attributeValue1" /> <f:attribute name="attributeName2" value="attributeValue2" /> </h:commandButton> </h:form> </code></pre> <p><em>Those attributes can be retrieved using <strong>getAttributes</strong>() of the parent UI component, which on its turn can be retrieved by the <strong>ActionEvent</strong> passed by the <strong>actionListener</strong>.</em></p> <pre><code>package mypackage; import javax.faces.event.ActionEvent; import net.balusc.util.FacesUtil; public class MyBean { // Actions ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- public void action(ActionEvent event) { String attributeName1 = FacesUtil.getActionAttribute(event, "attributeName1"); String attributeName2 = FacesUtil.getActionAttribute(event, "attributeName2"); System.out.println("attributeName1: " + attributeName1); System.out.println("attributeName1: " + attributeName1); } } package net.balusc.util; import javax.faces.event.ActionEvent; public class FacesUtil { // Getters ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- public static String getActionAttribute(ActionEvent event, String name) { return (String) event.getComponent().getAttributes().get(name); } } </code></pre> <p><em>The variables <strong>attributeName1</strong> and <strong>attributeName2</strong> now should contain the values attributeValue1 and <strong>attributeValue2</strong> respectively.</em></p> <p><em>Take care that each attribute name should be unique and should not overwrite any default component attributes, like "id", "name", "value", "binding", "rendered", etc.</em></p>
