Accessing JSF components tag attribute values from a backing bean
attributes, java, jsf, tags, web
Solution
UIViewRoot view = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot();
You can then use view.find("component_id") to get the right component. Once you have the component, you can use getAttributes() to get a `Map<String, Object>` with all the attributes of the component.
If you are accessing always the same compent, you can bind it to the backing bean instead.
Problem
I need to access a components tag attribute like: ``` <h:inputtext id="input_age"/> ``` from a backing bean, like: ``` public class UserInfo { String inputAgeId; public UserInfo() { inputAgeId = { /*code to access component tag attribute*/ }.getStyleClass(); } } ```
