Hi Lincoln -
Out of curiosity, why does it have to be a parameter, and not an
attribute? (This is completely separate from the question of whether it
should work or not, I'm just curious for the use case.)
So, instead of
<ocp:link value="#{myBean.getMappingId}">
<f:param value="${myBean.name}" /> <!-- This param never makes it to
where it needs to go -->
My Link Text
</ocp:link>
You would say:
<ocp:link value="#{myBean.getMappingId}" param="${myBean.name}" >
My Link Text
</ocp:link>
