are there any attributes in h:outputLink to call backing bean method from jsp file

Question

hi are there any ways to call backing bean method in h:outputLink

thanks Sunny Mate

Answer 1

Use a h:commandLink instead.

<h:commandLink id="next" action="#{courseBean.submit}">
   <h:outputText value="Next Page »" />
</h:commandLink>

That generates a hyperlink that triggers an action when clicked.

Answer 2

Just execute the code in the constructor of the request scoped backing bean associated with the page.

public class Bean {
    public Bean() {
        // Do your thing here.
    }
}
