SelectBooleanCheckbox to disable/enable inputText

[Philipp Daumke]

Hi all,

I'm absolutely new to JSF and find it very hard to get a good 
documentation for specific problems. Maybe you can help me with this 
little problem. I want to use a checkbox and a inputText. When I 
activate the checkbox, the inputText shall be enabled so that i can 
write something in it. If I uncheck the checkbox the inputFile shall be 
grey again. So far, I only have

<h:selectBooleanCheckbox id="checkbox1" value="#{user.toggleFileUsage}"/>
<h:inputText id="inputFile" disabled="#{user.fileUsed}" value="Type your 
text here" />

and the bean user:
public class User {
   private boolean fileUsed = false;

   public void toggleFileUsage() {
       fileUsed = !fileUsed;
       }
   public boolean isFileUsed() {
       return fileUsed;
   }
   public void setFileUsed(boolean fileUsed) {
       this.fileUsed = fileUsed;
   }
}

However, this doesn't work. I also tried a little with bindings and 
Listeners, but didn't really know how to use them. As I said, I don't 
find any good documentation or tutorial for this.
All the best
Philipp
