BTW all this is to pre-populate the inputText element with the values
already contained in the bean.

Dear All,
I am trying to build a jsf page which can alternate between showing
input & output text elements dependant upon a boolean (i.e. if you are
allowed to edit the data).
e.g.
<tr>
<td halign='left'><h:outputText value=" Type"
title="The Type of the Element" />
</td>
<td width="10">:</td>
<td halign='left'><h:outputText value="#{MIFExternal.type}"
rendered="#{!treeBacker.editState}" />
<h:inputText value="#{MIFExternal.type}"
rendered="#{treeBacker.editState}" />
</td>
</tr>
Basically the OutputText works fine, it calls "getType" & shows the
value in the bean however the inputText never calls "getType".
I have tried simply using an inputText (i.e. w/o any "rendered" & yet
nothing....)
Any ideas why the inputText should not be getting any values from the
backing bean?
Some of the fields are always ineligible for editing & thus are always
outputText & they work fine where the inputText fields are always empty.
TIA
