I have the following p:tabView:
<p:tabView id="tabView" dynamic="true" cache="false" activeIndex="#{navigationController.activeTabIndex}"
onTabChange="tabChangeCommand([{name:'index', value:index}])">
<p:tab title="#{adbBundle['nav.manageUser']}" id="manageUserTab">
<h:panelGroup layout="block">
<h:form id="manageUserListForm">
<ui:include src="/WEB-INF/includes/userList.xhtml">
<ui:param name="showOnlyActiveUsers" value="#{true}" />
</ui:include>
</h:form>
</h:panelGroup>
</p:tab>
<p:tab title="#{adbBundle['nav.manageRole']}" id="manageRoleTab">
<h:panelGroup layout="block">
<h:form id="manageRoleListForm">
<ui:include src="/WEB-INF/includes/userList.xhtml">
<ui:param name="manageRole" value="manageRole" />
<ui:param name="showOnlyActiveUsers" value="#{false}" />
</ui:include>
</h:form>
</h:panelGroup>
</p:tab>
</p:tabView>
The two tabs both of them have same include, i.e., userList.xhtml. Inside this userList.xhtml I have placed a h:outputText to see the value of ui:param showOnlyActiveUsers for testing purpose:
<h:outputText id="showOnlyActiveUsers" value="#{showOnlyActiveUsers}" />
The value of this h:outputText changes from true to false on tab change and vice versa.
The managed bean UserListController which is in view scope is the back bone for userList.xhtml. Since it is in view scope it is instantiating once for all these two tabs.
I have a class UserDataModel which extends LazyDataModel of Primefaces. An instance of this class is present in UserListController. I am trying to set a value to a field of UserDataModel from the getter method of a h:inputHidden:
<h:inputHidden value="#{userListController.showActiveOnly}" />
which is in userList.xhtml from UserListController as:
public String getShowActiveOnly() {
ValueExpression expression = getFacesContext().getApplication().getExpressionFactory().createValueExpression(getFaceletContext(), "#{showOnlyActiveUsers}", Boolean.class);
userDataModel.setShowOnlyActiveUsers(expression.getValue(getFaceletContext());
return "";
}
BUT the value which is generated by expression.getValue(getFaceletContext() is always false. I was wondering why the value in the h:outputText changes from true to false, but the value generated by ValueExpression is always false?
How can I solve this issue. Any pointer would be very helpful to me.
Edit
protected final FaceletContext getFaceletContext() {
return (FaceletContext) getFacesContext().getAttributes().get(FaceletContext.FACELET_CONTEXT_KEY);
}
What I want to achieve is to pass the ui:param value to the managed bean and from there to the data model.
Edit
userList.xhtml:

</p:selectOneRadio>
</h:panelGroup>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
</p:panel>
</h:form>
</ui:composition>
What I want is to get the current value of that ui:param from the userList.xhtml and pass it to the managed bean by some event and set it to the datamodel. It is also true that the datamodel is instantiating only once when the managed bean is created as it is in view scope.
