Using managed bean method in expression builder

Question

Hello,
I'm new to adf and I have the following problem.
I have a managed bean in session scope that has the following method:
public boolean alertMessages() throws NamingException,
SQLException {
if (condition)
{  return true;}
else
{return false;}
I have a page that has a link. Using the expression builder and according the function result I want to make the link bold or not.
I use the expression #{sessionScope.backing_pages_index.alertMessages ?'bold':'normal'} but it does'n work.
Could anybody help me.
Thank you,

Hi..
If you add your bean as sessionScope No need to add sessionScope to EL front,and should setter and getter for alertMessages
use *font-weight:#{backing_pages_index.alertMessages ? 'bold':'normal'}*
try as follows it is working for me
> private boolean alertMessages;
> public void setAlertMessages(boolean alertMessages) {
> this.alertMessages = alertMessages;
> }
> public boolean isAlertMessages() {
> if (true) {
> return true;
> } else {
> return false;
> }
> }
