InputHidden field's value binding to seam component's property

pramanish Jan 21, 2010 9:53 AM

Hi all,

In my .xhtml page, i want to take one jsf form with inputHidden element.
Here, i want to give value to this hidden field and want to bind that value to the respective property of the seam component.

i.e
<h:inputHidden value="30" binding="#{mySeamComponent.duration} />

Here, i want to set value 30 to my mySeamComponent's duration property.

With the current code i am getting following exception:
binding="#{mySeamComponent.duration}": java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.lang.ClassCastException@103e248

Can anybody suggest me how i can bind value passed to inputHidden field to my bean/seam component property?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Manish,

If You want to bind only the value of this h:inputHidden to duration variable (which is an Integer or String, or something like that), You can do it this way:

<h:inputHidden value="#{mySeamComponent.duration}"/>

private String duration = "30"; // getters-setters

Using the binding attribute the duration variable's type should be HtmlInputHidden, in this case You can get its value this way:

<h:inputHidden value="30" binding="#{mySeamComponent.duration}"/>

private HtmlInputHidden duration = new HtmlInputHidden(); // getters-setters Object value=duration.getValue();

I hope I not misunderstand Your question.
