Accessing methods inside the view

[bluetrade]

Hi,
I have a question regarding the access of methods. Say I have an Address that has many fields which can change over time, so I would like to display the entire address via the toString() field that the Bean provides me with. Is there a way to access a specific method e.g. #{backingBean.toString} <- this should not work, since there is not getToString or setToString available, and as far as I understand from the JSF / EJB Specs, this would be neccessary - so is there some sort of interceptor for this available?

I think this might come in handy very often in cases where a collection of strings of a Bean need to be displayed...

Thanks

No, this is EL-level stuff, defined by the JSTL spec. Method binding expressions and value binding expressions are very different things.

THanks Gavin, but does that mean that it is possible? I cannot find anything on how this would be possible... maybe you have a link or something...
thanks

Just make getter:

getAsString();

and use it

#{backingBean.asString}
