Passing a Enum value as a parameter from JSF

Question

I am trying to migrate my existing code to using Enum and I run into some problems due to my lack experience with Enum. First of all here is my structures. In my EJB

Answer 1

You can't access enums like that in EL. JSF has however builtin enum converters for EL. You can just use the enum name as string.

<h:commandButton value="Test" action="#{myBean.Test('PROFILE_COMMENT')}" />

Answer 2

In my case that helped me.

Simple compare enum to its value. EL recognize it and also check if that value exists while validating xhtml.

<c:if test="#{requestManager.selectedRequestType == 'ItemCreate' or requestManager.selectedRequestType == 'ItemChange'}"></c:if>
