Hi Roy,
Make a trial with <f:attribute>.
<h:outputText value="#{bundle.renderValue}">
<f:attribute name="rendered" value="#{backingBean.renderThisElement}"/>
</h:outputText>
I have had another kind of problem where the rendered attribute with EL caused problem.
For me embeding into c:foreach initiated the problem. The solution was the above.
Manipulating the rendered property as mentioned above can be done by using the binding attribute
<h:outputText binding="#{backingBean.uiComponent}" value="..."/>
class BackingBean{
UIComponent uiComponent;
...
uiComponent.setRendered(false);
}
(Alternatively you can retrieve the component from from the FacesContext.)
But this kind of manipulation of the component can be failed when you use it in<h:column>
where only one component is binded to a column and only values are saved and restored in the view correctly for each row.
