Hello,
This expression is not working :-
<f:facet name="header">
Search Results for #{SearchResultsBean.searchPhrase}
</f:facet>
But if i just remove that line from outside f:facet, it works. Why is this happening? Is this the intended behavior? Thanks in advance :)
I am not sure, but this might be related to the fact that the f:facet can contain only one child. Try this instead:
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Search Results for #{SearchResultsBean.searchPhrase}" />
</f:facet>
or maybe
<f:facet name="header">
<h:panelGroup>Search Results for #{SearchResultsBean.searchPhrase}</h:panelGroup>
</f:facet>
Update:
I just did a local test and actually, your initial approach works just here.

yields
foo text bar
foo

That was using Mojarra 2.0.2 on Tomcat 6.0.20. Which versions was you using? Was your approach similar?
