ExpressionLanguage (EL) Not Working as expected

I am creating web application where I have below code.

<p:commandButton ajax="false" 
 style="#{patentInfo.photoType.contains('application')?
 'visibility:visible;width:200px;height:200px;
  background-image: url(DisplayImage?mainID=tempo1&amp;id=#{patentInfo.photoType});
  background-repeat: no-repeat;background-size: 100% 100%;'
 :
 'visibility:hidden;width:2px;height:2px;'}">

I am setting background image where I am using Java class as DisplayImage and passing parameter to those as mainID=tempo1&amp;id=#{patentInfo.photoType}. In java, I am printing mainID & id for testing purpose.

DipalyImage.java

String mainID = request.getParameter("mainID");
String id = request.getParameter("id");
System.out.println("mainID=="+mainID+", id=="+id);

patentInfo.photoType will hold data as application/pdf

The problem is at background image parameters that I am passing.

  1. When I use background-image: url(DisplayImage?mainID=tempo1&amp;id=#{patentInfo.photoType}); & print mainID & id I get values as below.

    mainID=temp1 & id=

    I don't get anything for id.....

  2. When I use background-image: url(DisplayImage?mainID=tempo1&amp;id=patentInfo.photoType); & print mainID & id I get values as below.

    mainID=temp1 & id=patentInfo.photoType

What I am doing wrong here?

I am expecting output as mainID=temp1 & id=application/pdf

The problem is that you have #{ ... #{} ...} in your el.

Try something like this:

<p:commandButton ajax="false" style="#{patentInfo.photoType.contains('application')?'visibility:visible;width:200px;height:200px;background-image: url(DisplayImage?mainID=tempo1&amp;id='.concat(patentInfo.photoType).concat(';background-repeat: no-repeat;background-size: 100% 100%;'):'visibility:hidden;width:2px;height:2px;'}">
