EL extension to resolve #{bean[field]}" where field is a composite like "property.subProperty" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-2287 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2287 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: EL Reporter: koen handekyn EL extension to resolve #{bean[field]}" where field is a composite like "property.subProperty" today bean[field] is a means to resolve properties dynamically. it does however not work for nested properties. it's more powerfull and more intuitive imho if one could pass an expression like "address.street" to resolve these dynamically . an example use case is dynamically building list pages like below where the column fields are configurable (and ideally would support projection of a street.address) <c:forEach items="${managedAccounts.searchFields}" var="field" varStatus="status" > <rich:column breakBefore="#{count==1 ? true : false}" > <h:inputText value="#{managedAccounts.example[field]}" class="headerSearchField" /> </rich:column> </c:forEach>
