However, for our other discussion, this will mean you can only use a protected getter for the few strange situations where accessing the local field from component logic is necessary. regards, Martin -- http://www.irian.at Your JSF powerhouse - JSF Consulting, Development and Courses in English and German Professional Support for Apache MyFaces
