      • evalAttribute

        public static Object evalAttribute​(UIComponent component,
                                           String name)
        Evaluates an attribute of a component by first checking if there's a value expression associated with it, and only if there isn't one look at a component property with that name.

        The regular attribute collection (UIComponent.getAttributes()) does exactly the reverse; it looks at a component property first, then at the attribute collection and only looks at a value binding as the last option.

        Parameters:
        component - The component for which the attribute is to be evaluated
        name - Name of attribute that is to be evaluated
        Returns:
        The value of the attribute, or null if either the component is null or if there's isn't an attribute by that name
      • graphicImageURL

        public static String graphicImageURL​(String expression)

        Returns @GraphicImageBean URL based on given expression string.

             <o:graphicImage value="#{images.thumb(product.imageId)}" />
         </a>
         
        Parameters:
        expression - Expression string representing the same value as you would use in <o:graphicImage>. It must be a quoted string. Any nested quotes can be escaped with backslash.
        Returns:
        @GraphicImageBean URL based on given expression string.

             <o:graphicImage value="#{images.thumb(product.imageId)}" type="png" />
         </a>
         
        Parameters:
