Passing parameters in jsf method calls?

[jcranwellward]

Hello to all,

I was wondering what the syntax is for passing a parameter in a jsf method call. I have a page flow where I want to set an attribute of my bean before displaying a page:

<start-state name="start">

<action name="#{contactManager.setContactType("Registrant")}"/>

</start-state>

"Registrant" is a literal string.

In the bean I have this method:

public void setContactType(String typeIn) {
contactType= typeIn;
}

I think this is possible although I thin the syntax for the call is slightly different.

Thanks for all the help,

James
