Facelets: how to pass a ui:insert value as an html attribute?

Answer 1

+1 A:

I don't have a working environment in front of me, but I believe you don't want to you use <ui:define>, but instead you want to use <ui:param> and then use ${x} or #{x} (or forget which or if it matters) to pull them out.

So, for you example you would have:

<ui:param name="title" value="PageUID_123" />

And then:

<meta name="pageid" content="${title}"/>

My only concern with that is that you are using include to have nice templates, i.e.

template:

<html>
    <head>
     <meta name="pageid" content="${title}"/>
    </head>
    <body>
     <ui:insert name="content" />
    </body>
</html>

Inner page:

<html xmlns="...so many">
    <ui:param name="title" value="PageUID_123" />
    <ui:define name="content">
     <!-- content goes here -->
    </ui:define>
</html>

And I really don't know if that will fly...

Edit: You may want to try ${title} or #{title} just for kicks the way you're doing it now, it might Just Work.

In facelets it does not matter if you use ${x} or #{x}. They mean the same: https://facelets.dev.java.net/nonav/docs/dev/docbook.html#el
