I am using MyFaces 1.0.8 for my page and the rendered
attribute for the commandButton seems to work just
fine.
Here is my commandButton on the JSP:
<h:commandButton id="addButton"
action="#{taskBean.addTaskButton}"
rendered="#{taskBean.rendered}" value="Add"/>
Here are the managed bean methods:
public boolean isRendered() {
return true;
}
public String addTaskButton() {
TaskBO taskBo = TaskBO.getInstance();
try {
// do nothing for this example
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.error(e.getMessage(), e);
return "internalError";
}
ApplicationUtils.setUserMessageByResourceKey(
"com.javawebapps.todolist.infomsg.addSuccess");
task = null;
return "taskNew";
}
The addTaskButton method gets called every time that I
press the button. One thing though, I have client
side state saving and the bean has session scope.
I know this didn't answer your question but maybe this
will help.
