As I mentioned in point number 2 it works. displayText property in the backing bean will get populated with "dummyValue"
The immediate inference of this result was that there is something wrong with my EL expression. But then when I used <t:outputLabel> tag with the same EL expression it outputted the correct value. This means that there is nothing wrong with the EL expression. The key is properly defined in the Messages.properties file as well. ~madhav > -----Original Message----- > From: Simon Kitching [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2007 12:20 PM > To: MyFaces Discussion > Subject: Re: how do you pass/set parameters upon ActionListener > execution?- puzzled > > What happens if you do this? > <t:updateActionListener > property="#{breadCrumbNavigatorBean.displayText}" > value="dummyValue"/> > > Madhav Bhargava wrote: > > Hi Werner, > > > > I double checked the jsp and the backing bean but it just refuses to > > parse the EL expression. > > > > This is what I have done: > > > > *Jsp Code:* > > > > <t:commandLink value="Add Reminders" styleClass="linkClass" > > action="#{reminderController.getExistingRemindersList}" > > > > actionListener="#{breadCrumbNavigatorBean.updateBreadCrumb}" > > rendered="#{!physicianHomeController.showRemindersMoreLink}"> > > > > <t:updateActionListener > > property="#{breadCrumbNavigatorBean.displayText}" > > value="#{msg['breadcrumb.label.reminders']}"/> > > > > </t:commandLink> > > > > In the* backing bean* I just defined a String property with the name > > displayText. > > > > > > */Following is the observation:/* > > > > 1.
