JSF actual value input text

How can I pass the actual value in the text boxt of emailEdit (after changed) to a function or how can I bind this value to another property of a bean when changed ?

Currently I got this :

<h:inputText id="emailEdit"
value="#{portalUserHome.instance.customer.email}">
</h:inputText>

<s:link value="Send mail"
action="#{customerEdit.sendEmail}"  rerender="myCustomerEditData,myCustomerData"></s:link>

Thanks in advance

[Assuming you're talking about an EL function, not a JS function here]There are a few ways, but they'll mostly start with you having to bind the text to the page scope:

<h:inputText id="emailEdit" binding="#{emailEdit}" value="#{portalUserHome.instance.customer.email}"/>

From that point, you can pretty much do whatever you want, referring to the textbox using the binding of emailEdit

  • You could pass the value directly to the method you're interested in (available only starting from EL 2.2)

    <s:link value="Send mail" action="#{customerEdit.sendEmail(emailEdit.value)}" rerender="myCustomerEditData,myCustomerData"/>

  • You could pass the value using the f:attribute tag, and then retrieve the passed attribute in your function

    <s:link id="emailLink" value="Send mail"action="#{customerEdit.sendEmail}"  rerender="myCustomerEditData,myCustomerData">
     <f:attribute name="emailValue" value="#{emailEdit.value}"/>
</s:link>

    Retrieving in your function:

    public void sendEmail(){
    FacesContext ctxt = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    UIComponent comp = ctxt.getViewRoot().findComponent("emailLink"); //assuming you already have a FacesContext
    String theValue =  comp.getAttributes().get("emailValue").toString(); //obligatory null check omitted for brevity
}
