custom getters and setters for components?

[vc5]

hihi,

is there a way to specify custom getter and setter methods for any component?

that is, instead of this:

<h:inputText value="#{myBean.myProperty}" />

i would like to do something like this:

<h:inputText getter="#{myBean.getMyProperty('param1','param2')}"
   setter="#{myBean.setMyProperty('param1', 'param2', this.value)}" />

any ideas much appreciated!

tia!

Hi,

I have been looking for something similar and this is what I had found a few weeks back.

I think you should override/extend the ValueExpression (EL) to handle parameters in your getter/setter methods.

Hope this helps.

You could try making getMyProperty() return a Map<String, Foo> and use #{MyBean.myProperty['keyName']} or #{MyBean.myProperty[elForPropertyName]}

Your page can use that to both get and set the value in the map for the given key.
