    Parameters in EL method binding

    jbeaken

      Using facelets, jboss 1.2.1GA, jboss4.2.1, ajax4jsf
      From the seam docs:

      Seam provides an enhancement to the EL that allows parameters to be included in a method expression itself. This applies to any Seam method expression, including any JSF method binding, for example:

      <s:commandButton action="#{hotelBooking.bookHotel(hotel)}" value="Book Hotel"/>

      To use this feature in Facelets, you will need to declare a special view handler, SeamFaceletViewHandler in faces-config.xml.

      <faces-config>

      <view-handler>org.jboss.seam.ui.facelet.SeamFaceletViewHandler</view-handler>

      </faces-config>

      but as I'm using AJAX4JSF this declaration is moved to web.xml


      <context-param>
      <param-name>org.ajax4jsf.VIEW_HANDLERS</param-name>
      <param-value>
      org.jboss.seam.ui.facelet.SeamFaceletViewHandler
      </param-value>
      </context-param>


      But in my xhtml (using faclets), if I even hint at using parameters such as :
      <f:selectItems value="#{roleSelectItemListService.allRoles()}"/>

      it throws

      Caused by: javax.el.ELException: Error Parsing: #{roleSelectItemListService.allRoles()}

      If I use

      <f:selectItems value="#{roleSelectItemListService.allRoles}"/>

      it works fine,

      has anybody else come across this

      thanks in advance
