i'm new with jsf technology and use of managed bean.
I'm reading the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition The Java EE Tutorial release 7 but it seems to be not clear, i have different problem how in example below :
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{user.age}" onchange="submit()" valueChangeListener="#{user.ageChanged}">
<f:selectItems value="#{user.ages}" />
<f:converter converterId="javax.faces.Integer"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:inputText id="name" value="#{user.name}" required="true" validator="#{user.validateName}" valueChangeListener="#{user.nameChanged}" onchange ="submit()" />
the first one do the job, but the second not it displays:
'managedBean.User' does not have the property nameChanged.
but ageChanged is not a property but the first example do the job
but i'm using method expression to refers method nameChanged that it's present on the bean user,
i'm confusing, too with use or not of the bracket on methods expression:
valueChangeListener="#{user.nameChanged}"
or valueChangeListener="#{user.nameChanged()}"
what is the properly way to use methods expression?
i say this cause in another example having method with no parameters, the two approaches had different behave, first the same error about property missing, the second Apparently worked.
any help? a speak about method expressions it's appreciated to. thank you.
