Creating an expression from JSP using a non-bound variable

Question

Hi,
This should be a simple question. I have an attribute that belongs to a row that is displayed on a jsp page.
This attribute, however, is not displayed on the page, but is an attribute in the VO.
I have a Set Property Listener on a command button, and I am trying to set this attribute ("Uid") to a pageFlowScope variable.
I am having trouble figuring out which expression to use in order to get the value of my attribute.
I can do this in code:
int i = (Integer)currentRow.getAttribute("Uid");
I want to be able to do the same thing in my expression language.
Can anyone give me a clue?
Or, is there a way I can instantiate a Set Property Listener in my code, and use the value of my attribute?
The attribute I am using is my Auto-Increment primary key (I'm using MySQL), so I never use it as a UI element.
Thanks.
Joel

Answer 1

I ended up removing the SetPropertyListener, and then from my backing bean I set the value on my pageFlowScope by doing this:
RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().getPageFlowScope().put("pid", i);
