passing params within a4j:jsFunction

[nimo22]

I have two properties within a action which is called by invoking jsFunction:

<h:form>

<a4j:jsFunction name="invokeAction" action="#{myBean.doAction(_prop1, _prop2)}" reRender=".." limitToList="true">
        <a4j:actionparam name="param1" assignTo="#{_prop1}" />
        <a4j:actionparam name="param2" assignTo="#{_prop2}" />
</a4j:jsFunction>

<h:form>

and want to call that by

...onclick="invokeAction(hobby, 'hello');"

However, there a js-error is thrown:

hobby is not defined

So I guess, hobby (a valid java-object) is not passed right into the param1-property of my action. What is wrong?

hobby - should be some java scrip object. or use EL like #{someBean.someProp} in order to pass some server side object property.

oh, now it s clear.

So I have to put extra getter/setter to assign hobby to a bean-property only to use this bean-property within a action which needs that parameter.

depends on where this parameter created. If you need to pass from server side - yes, if just grab from client - no.
