Mojarra 2.2
I have two beans`.
public class MyBean1{
private String myProperty1;
//GET, SET, CTOR
public void doAction(){
//assign something to myProperty1
}
}
public class MyBean2{
private String myProperty2;
//GET, SET, CTOR
}
Now, I need to assign the value of the property MyBean1::myProperty1 to MyBean2::myProperty2 after the doAction() method invocation by clicking a button:
<h:commandButton action="#{myBean1.doAction}">
<f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{myBean2.myProperty2}"
value="#{myBean1.myProperty1}" />
</h:commandButton>
But it doesn't work. And I figured out that it doesn't work due to the following reason:
Clicking a button causes ActionEvent to be broadcasted. It performs by this method (javax.faces.component.UICommand):
public void broadcast(FacesEvent event) throws AbortProcessingException {
super.broadcast(event); //1 <-------------------- HERE
if (event instanceof ActionEvent) {
FacesContext context = getFacesContext();
MethodBinding mb = getActionListener();
if (mb != null) {
mb.invoke(context, new Object[] { event });
}
ActionListener listener =
context.getApplication().getActionListener();
if (listener != null) {
listener.processAction((ActionEvent) event);
}
}
}
I've noticed that the ActionEvent broadcasting by clickng the button is being handled by two listeners and one that comes from super.broadcast(event) invokation at //1 is com.sun.faces.facelets.tag.jsf.core.SetPropertyActionListenerHandler.SetPropertyListener.
The handling is performed before invokation of the action method.
Of course, I can embed the action method invokation into the MyBean1:getMyProperty1() getter, so the myProperty1 field will be properly intialized, but it seems quite wierd to me. What is the right way to achieve that?
