Facelets custom component with an action as a variable like

[Georg Füchsle]

Hallo,

I use JSF 1.2 with Facelets and Tomahawk.

Now I would like to make a facelets custom component for a navigation
/ toolkit bar (button panel) that looks the same in every page. This
component should exist of a number of <t:commandButtons that can be
defined by calling this custom component.

I thougt about something like this:

In a file 'btnPanel.xhtml':
<span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
          xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core";
          xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html";
          xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets";
          xmlns:t="http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk";
          xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core";>

        <ui:composition>
        <ui:param name="btn1Value" value="#{btn1Value}"/>       
        <ui:param name="btn1Action" value="#{btn1Action}"/>

.....

</span>


I would define this as a custom tag:

        <tag>
                <tag-name>btnPanel</tag-name>
                <source>../pages/btnPanel.xhtml</source>
        </tag>


Finally I want to call this control in my xhtml-pages like this:

<safir:btnPanel btn1Value="save" btn1Action="#{mbBean.save}"/>

But I realised that it is not possible to define a variable action for
my custom control like this. Actually this way JSF looks for a method
mbBean.getSave() instead of performing the action mbBean.save()


Is there another way to do that?

Thanks in advance
