Thank you, that worked.
I wanted to try methods that don't start with "get" to see if they would work. I may have found a couple of bugs. I started with the following code. First I noticed that NetBeans 6.8 M2 does not offer tag completion for methods that have parameters, so I created a bug ticket 174275.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="
http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:c="
http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core">
<h:body>
Value is #{fantasyBean.someMethodWithParam('test')};
</h:body>
</html>
package sandbox.jee6web1;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
@ManagedBean
public class FantasyBean {
public String someMethodWithParam(String value) {
return value;
}
}
I works fine. If I remove the method parameter then NetBeans offers "someMethodWithParam" in EL completion. I changed the code to look like this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="
http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:c="
http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core">
<h:body>
Value is #{fantasyBean.someMethodWithParam};
</h:body>
</html>
package sandbox.jee6web1;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
@ManagedBean
public class FantasyBean {
public String someMethodWithParam() {
return "test";
}
}
When I run that code on GlassFish V3 b66 I get an exception:
/index.xhtml: The class 'sandbox.jee6web1.FantasyBean' does not have the property 'someMethodWithParam'.
One time I got this exception instead:
/index.xhtml: Method someMethodWithParam not found
So I changed the code to look like this, then it works in GlassFish:
public String getSomeMethodWithParam() {
return "test";
}
Should NetBeans not offer EL completion for methods that have zero parameters AND do not start with "get"? Or, should JSF/EL let me use methods with no parameters that do not start with "get"?
Thanks,
Ryan
