Passing param into h:selectOneMenu

[Hatem Alimam]

Hello ranchers,

my issue is that i have a select one menu component that takes its selectItems list from
a method in the backing bean, but i was wondering how can i pass a parameter to that
method through JSF.
the final would look something like this:

in jsf page

<h:selectOneMenu>
   <f:selectItems value="#{backing.mymethod}" />
   <f:param name="myparam" value="#{dynamicValue}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>

in the backing bean

public List<SelectItem> mymethod() {
  //get the paramter 'myparam'
  //process code according to param value
  //return the wanted selectItems list
}

am not sure if this the right logic to solve such an issue,

many thanks...

Hatem Aliman,

I know you posted a long time ago, but i just run in to this, on jsf 2.0 you can pass attributes on EL. So you can do something like this.

on jsf

 
<h:selectOneMenu>  
   <f:selectItems value="#{backing.mymethod(dynamicValue)}" />  
</h:selectOneMenu>  

on Manage bean method

  public List<SelectItem> mymethod(String dynamicValue) {  
  //process code according to param value  
  //return the wanted selectItems list  
}
