Check out http://struts.apache.org/shale. The documentation is pretty
complete and there are nightly build and examples you can download.

This sounds like it may work for me. I never used Shale, so how do I map
the backingbean from fooBar to fooBar.jsp as you mentioned below? in
face-config.xml?
thanks.

I am not sure if this is the best way, but one idea that could work is
to create a PhaseListener that acts after the view is restored. In
this phase listener, you could check if the view being restored is the
view for which you want to call your backing bean method. Then, you
could obtain a
but remember that getter may be called few times!
i assume that in order to see your page user must click sth (ex.
somme kind of menu) and i assume that u have action binded to that
click that returs string maped to desired page. so just add call
your method in that action.

Hi,
i think you are looking for somthing like a PhaseListener.
You can configure such a Listener in faces.xml.
make your listener to return javax.faces.event.PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE
in getPhaseId() method and the beforePhase() method of your listener
is invoked just before rendering.

I would suggest using Shale with JSF. Use the Shale jars and
I agree with Rick. Shale is what you want if you want to do something
before rendering. In fact, there is a prerender method in the
ViewControllr interface for just such an occassion.

Hi,
I'm wondering what's the correct way to call a
method in the backing bean from a JSF page.What I tried is to
useh:outputText value="#{theBackingBean.theMethod}" /, the backing
bean method returns an empty string, so nothing gets printed out in the page.
Which works, but I am not sure
The value attribute should be a *value* binding expression. It must
bind to a *property*. So you do something like this ...
value=#{theBackingBean.foo}
and in your backing bean you have
public String getFoo()
{ ... }
public void setFoo(String fooValue)
{ ... }

Thanks for your reply, that makes sense. But won't h:commandLink render a
link and h:commandButton render a button in the page? I don't want to
display anything on the screen. My purpose is to initiate a call from the
JSF page to a method in the backing bean when the JSF page loads. I'm
Yes, commandLink and commandButton will render an anchor tag. If you
don't want to do this you can do work in your properies getter method
when it gets called by outputText value and return an empty string.
However, I don't believe there is any guarante as to call order.
Putting your target
I see. The outputText way is actually what I did. So, is there a way to call
a method in the backing bean when/before loading a JSF page? Something like
a pre-render method before loading a JSF page? I can do that in the backing
bean methods that forward to the JSF page, but there are many
Thanks for your response. I guess I didn't make me clear here. My question
is how to call a method in the backing bean from a JSF page without
rendering out anything to the screen.
