seems to always evaluate true in JSF2 Facelets

问题

I am using JSF2 on Facelets.

I define an <ui:param> in a page:

<ui:composition template="/WEB-INF/templates/ui.xhtml"
  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
  xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
  xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
  xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
>
  <ui:param name="title" value="OnAir WebDemo" />
  ...
</ui:composition>

in the ui.xhtml template I have:

<html
  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
  xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
  xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
  xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
  xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"
>
  <c:if test="#{not empty title}">
    <h1>#{title}</h1>
  </c:if>
</html>

However, <c:if test> seems to always evaluate true, also if the <ui:param> is not specified. How can I change the code so that <c:if test> will actually evaluate false when the <ui:param> is not specified?

回答1:

The XML namespace is invalid. It should be

xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"

Yes, astonishingly with the /jsp part in the URI! The one without /jsp works only in Facelets 1.x for JSF 1.x. If you have checked the generated HTML output in the webbrowser, you should have noticed as well that the <c:if> is left unparsed in the HTML output.

That said, you should prefer JSF components over JSTL tags, unless technically impossible (i.e. when you actually want to control the building of the view, not rendering of the view). The h:panelGroup as you found out yourself is a good candidate, however the ui:fragment is a nicer choice since it has less overhead.

<ui:fragment rendered="#{not empty title}">
    <h1>#{title}</h1>
</ui:fragment>

Note that due to a mistake of the JSF guys in the <ui:fragment> tag definition file of the initial JSF 2.0 version, Netbeans will jerk that the tag doesn't support the rendered attribute, but this is untrue. It certainly supports it. It has been fixed in JSF 2.1 tag definition.

回答2:

Well,

I used rendered instead, like this:

<h:panelGroup rendered="#{title!=null}">

                <h1>#{title}</h1>

        </h:panelGroup>
