[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - ui:insert and setting values

Simple question: I'm defining a template which I want to display one of the defined items twice. For example, here's what the template looks like: <ui:composition> | <h2>Here it is the first time:</h2> | <ui:insert name="groupA"/> | <h2>And now we see it again:</h2> | <ui:insert name="groupA"/> | </ui:composition> And that works correctly. Next step, I would like to have different settings within the template when I run it the second time. For example: The file using the template: (Some stuff) | | <ui:decorate template="/my-template.xhtml"> | | <ui:define name="groupA"> | This content shows up always! | | <s:div rendered="{showFirstTime}"> | This div will show only when showFirstTime is true | </s:div> | | <s:div rendered="{showSecondTime}"> | This div will show only when showFirstTime is true | </s:div> | </ui:define> | </ui:decorate> | | (some more stuff) Then I would like to make the template look like this: <ui:composition> | <h2>Here it is the first time:</h2> | | <ui:insert name="groupA"> | <ui:param name="showFirstTime" value="#{true}"/> | <ui:param name="showSecondTime" value="#{false}"/> | </ui:insert> | | <ui:insert name="groupA"> | <ui:param name="showFirstTime" value="#{false}"/> | <ui:param name="showSecondTime" value="#{true}"/> | </ui:insert> | | <h2>And now we see it again:</h2> | <ui:insert name="groupA"/> | </ui:composition> But that doesn't work. The value set by ui:param doesn't show up. Any ideas on how to do this? I'm obviously missing something with Facelets here. Is there some tag to set a value in the page context? That seems like what I want to do, but <ui:param> (and f:param) don't do it. Thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4125864#...
