Enums in JSF code

[frippe]

Hi,
I have a xhtml file where I try to use an enum I've created for my system. The enum works when I use it to set values on entities' properties and can also print the enum, set as a value in an entity, in the xhtml file.

But I can't seem to be able to create a rendered condition or print a value directly from the enum #{PStatus.ACTIVE}

My enum:

@Name("pStatus")
public enum PStatus {
 INITIATED(0), ACTIVE(1), DRAWING_DONE(2), CLOSED(3);

 private int value;

 private PStatus(int value) {
 this.value = value;
 }

 public int getValue() {
 return(value);
 }
}

Part of my xhtml file:

<h:column rendered="#{bookable.week.period.status == PStatus.ACTIVE}">
<h:commandLink action="#{subscriptionView.sortBy('email')}" value="Vinnare"/>
</h:column>

What am I missing here?

This isn't valid EL, EL has no support for accessing enum's - something like #{bookable.week.period.status == bookable.month.period.status} would work though (where you compare two instance values of enums).

You can probably write a facelets function to do this. And yes, this is on my wishlist for EL as well!

Ok, thanx. I'll try another approach now and hope to get this working in a later version of EL.

Thanx,
