I'd like to know if there's a way to bind the returned value of a method into a JSF component. I'll explain myself better. Let's say I have a class like this:
public class Document {
private List<Attachment> attachments;
//getter and setter here
}
this class is exposed to jsf through a registered managed bean in a property called currentDocument, and used in a jsf this way
<h:outputText value="#{myManagedBean.currentDocument.attachment.size}" />
This isn't correct, I know. But what is the correct way to do this? Am I supposed to create an attribute on the Document class, let's say numberOfAttachments, and bind to that, or there's a way to bind directly on a method's return value?
