How to make Hybris CMSParagraphComponent print variable value

Is there a way to make CMSParagraphComponent print variable values?

On my controller I have something like this:

model.addAttribute("isInvoiceAvailable", currentBaseStore.isAccountPaymentAvailable());

return ControllerConstants.Views.Pages.Account.PAYMENT_OPTIONS_LANDING_PAGE;

My jsp look like this:

    <cms:pageSlot position="Section1" var="feature">
        <c:set var="adjustPosition" value="${true}" />
        <cms:component component="${feature}" element="div" class="span-24 section1Template7 cms_disp-img_slot"/>
    </cms:pageSlot>

The above mentioned component is a CMSParagraphComponent.

The CMSParagraphComponent content look like this:

UPDATE CMSParagraphComponent ; $contentCV[unique=true] ; uid[unique=true]     ; content[lang=$lang]
 ;                         ; paymentOptionsParagraph ; "
 <h3>Payment Options</h3>
 <br>
 ${isInvoiceAvailable}
 $isInvoiceAvailable
 <h4>Credit card</h4>
 <br>
 <p>
    
    MasterCard, Visa
 </p>"

And when the page loads it's printing the content as if there were no variables, like this: enter image description here

Is there a way to make the component print some variable value from the page contenxt?

Solution

  • CMSParagraphComponent is rendered using CMSParagraphComponentRenderer.java, so the Expression Language is not available at the moment of the rendering, and as a result, what you are trying to do is not possible.

    I think for your use case a JSPIncludeComponent is more appropriate, another solution would be to create your own component type and use a JSP file to render it.
