How to use ui:include with parameters?

Question

Have JSF 1.2 two pages(one.xhtml and other.xhtml),
that are included to the current page by following rule:

...     <c:if test="#{flowScope.Bean.param1}">         <ui:include src="one.xhtml"/>     </c:if>       <c:if test="#{!flowScope.Bean.param1}">         <ui:include src="other.xhtml"/>     </c:if>  ... 

As far one.xhtml differs from other.xhtml only by action parameters:

one.xhtml:<h:commandLink action="actionOne">
other.xhtml:<h:commandLink action="actionTwo">

Is it possible to use some general xhtml?
Instead of one.xhtml and other.xhtml,something like this:

...     <c:if test="#{flowScope.Bean.param1}">         <ui:include src="general.xhtml" param="actionOne"/>     </c:if>       <c:if test="#{!flowScope.Bean.param1}">         <ui:include src="general.xhtml" param="actionTwo"/>     </c:if>  ... 

thank you for help.

Answer 1

You need to nest <ui:param> inside <ui:include> to pass parameters to the included file.

<ui:include src="general.xhtml">     <ui:param name="action" value="actionOne" /> </ui:include> 

and in the include:

<h:commandButton action="#{action}" /> 

Note that this only supports strings, not action methods. For the latter you would need to upgrade to JSF 2.0 and use composite components.

In addition to BalusC's answer:

There is a way to do this with JSF 1.2, though it's somewhat ugly:

<ui:include src="general.xhtml">     <ui:param name="actionBean" value="#{myBackingBean}" />     <ui:param name="actionMethod" value="edit" /> </ui:include> 

and

<h:commandButton action="#{actionBean[actionMethod]}" />
