anonymous wrote : #{sel.label} -> can be evaluated No it can not! How the hell is an arbitrary page variable going to be available when the method expression is evaluated on the faces request?? It's a whole different request! Now, Seam is actually pretty cool, and *if* "sel" is a variable that iterates a DataModel that exists in PAGE or CONVERSATION scope and is the value of a UIData, then Seam *can* evaluate #{sel.label} on the postback. So, like I said above, you can solve your problem simply by sticking the stuff you are iterating in a page or conversation scope datamodel. (Like I said above.)
