JSF Composite Component: Unable to resolve composite component from using page using EL expression

I studied some similar questions here on stackoverflow, but none of them seem to nail my problem...

I wrote a (kind of simple) composite component:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
    xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
    xmlns:composite="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite">

<composite:interface>

    <composite:attribute name="buttonValue" />
    <composite:attribute name="ajaxExecute" />
    <composite:attribute name="ajaxRender" />
    <composite:attribute name="ajaxListener" />

</composite:interface>


<composite:implementation>

    <h:commandButton value="#{cc.attrs.buttonValue}">
        <f:ajax execute="#{cc.attrs.ajaxExecute}"
            render="#{cc.attrs.ajaxRender}" listener="#{cc.attrs.ajaxListener}" />
    </h:commandButton>

</composite:implementation>

</html>

And included this one into my view like so:

<my:ajaxCommandButton
                buttonValue="foo"
                ajaxExecute=""
                ajaxRender=""
                ajaxListener="#{viewBacking.resend()}"></my:ajaxCommandButton>

The interesting thing is - this guy works like a champ (!) - every time I click on it, the bean method is called and all seems to be wonderful.

Unfortunately I get this stuff logged out with every click on the button:

Anyone with an idea for me? Thanks a lot in advance!

Solution

  • Just an idea - add the method-signature attribute to:

    <composite:attribute name="ajaxListener" />
