Outjected variable as parameter for enhanced EL

[mahbe]

Hi,

how can I get an outjected object as a call parameter for an action method in a Facelets XHTML page?

In DataTable its easy by using

 <h:dataTable id="customerlist"
 value="#{customerList}"
 var="customer">
 ...
 <h:commandLink value="#{customer.name}"
 action="#{ChooseCustomer.showDetails(customer)}"/>
...

But if I haven't got a data table, i've no idea how to do that with enhanced EL. Nested EL expressions obviously doesn't work (choosenCustomer is outjected here by @Out and present if I check it with #{choosenCustomer.name}):

<h:commandLink id="back-customerdetails"
 value="Back to details"
 action="#{ChooseCustomer.showDetails(#{choosenCustomer})}"/>

And that one doesn't work, too - as expected:

<h:commandLink id="back-customerdetails"
 value="Back to details"
 action="#{ChooseCustomer.showDetails(choosenCustomer)}"/>

Is there any solution with enhanced EL or am I doomed to use page parameters?

This is the one that should work. What scope do you outject the chosenCustomer to?

By now, I solved the problem with page id.

What scope do you outject the chosenCustomer to?

I did outject it at standard scope (only with @Out). The page with the commandLink is generated from an @End annotated action method. Oddly enough

 <s:link id="back-customerdetails"
 value="Back to details"
 action="#{ChooseCustomer.showDetails(null)}">
 <f:param name="custno" value="#{choosenCustomer.customerNo}"/>
 </s:link>

does work now, but

<h:commandLink id="back-customerdetails"
 value="Back to details"
 action="#{ChooseCustomer.showDetails(choosenCustomer)}"/>

did not.

And don't nail me down to it, but I'm quite sure that I used commandLink inside form tags.
