Binding and rendering

Question

My problem exist in the fact that the component have not been rendered when the binding setter is invoked.
Om trying this whith .getParent and .getValue and the first time i call the page they all return null and the > 1 time it returns the correct values, is there any way to force the encode, or is it not the encode thats the trouble?
JSF Code
<x:dataList id="buttonsData" styleClass="ListTableBorder"
var="button"
binding="#{printBean.renderActionButtons}"
value="#{listBean.actionbuttonslist}">
</x:dataList>
Java Code
public void setRenderActionButtons(HtmlDataList in){
htmlDataList = in;
logger.debug("htmlDataList "+htmlDataList);
if(htmlDataList!=null){
Object obj1 = htmlDataList.getValue();
Object obj2 = htmlDataList.getParent();
Object obj3 = htmlDataList.getVar();
logger.debug("obj1 " +obj1 );
logger.debug("obj2 " +obj2 );
logger.debug("obj3 " +obj3 );
}

Just to be clear:
The oracle.adf.model.binding.DCBindingContainer (a.k.a. Binding Container) represents the pageDef file for the page/fragment. In a JSF page you can refer to it via the EL expression #{bindings}. As Puthanampatti mentions the Binding Container contains references to the other bindings in your page including Value and Action bindings.
The oracle.adf.model.BindingContext (a.k.a. Binding Context) is a parent class to all the DCBindingContainer instances in your application. In a JSF page you can refer to it via the EL expression #{data}.
Note it is considered bad form to attempt to access the DCBindingContainer of another page/fragment from your current page/fragment. This is because the framework doesn't guarantee the Binding Container for the other page/fragment will be initialized.
