Binding property of a Panel header in Declarative Component

Question

Hi,
I created a Custom Declarative component, which has a panel header, i wanted to expose the binding property of the panel header so that the users can add partial triggers to it programaticaly,
so i added a attribute of type RichPanelHeader, and used it in bindings of the panel header, but i am getting following error,
Unserializable value:RichPanelHeader[UIXFacesBeanImpl, id=dc_cnt_ph1] for key:PropertyKey[phBinding] in console,
and the value in bean is null.
the code used in Panel Header of Declarative component,
<af:panelHeader text="#{attrs.phScreenHdrTxt}" id="dc_cnt_ph1"
                      helpTopicId="#{attrs.phScreenHdrHelpTopicId}"
                      rendered="#{attrs.phScreenHdrRendered}"
                      inlineStyle="#{attrs.phScreenHdrInlineStyle}"
                      partialTriggers="#{attrs.phScreenHdrPartialTrigger}"
                      binding="#{attrs.phBinding}">
      <attribute>
          <attribute-name>phBinding</attribute-name>
          <attribute-class>oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.layout.RichPanelHeader</attribute-class>
        </attribute>   code used in the consumer app.
<app:Container id="c2" phScreenHdrTxt="tab1" phBinding="#{TestBean.panelHeader}">
    <f:facet name="body">
      <af:group id="g1">
        <af:outputText value="Tab1" id="ot1"/>
        <af:commandButton text="Refresh Panel Header" id="cb1"
                          actionListener="#{TestBean.refreshPh}"/>
      </af:group>
    </f:facet>
  </app:Container>
public class TestBean  implements Serializable{
  private RichPanelHeader panelHeader;
  public void refreshPh(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
    panelHeader.setText("Changed");
    AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(panelHeader);
  public void setPanelHeader(RichPanelHeader panelHeader) {
    this.panelHeader = panelHeader;
  public RichPanelHeader getPanelHeader() {
    return panelHeader;
}is there any solution or way to expose the binding property of any component in a custom declarative component?

Hi,
as a last resort, try javax.faces.component.UIComponent as the component class. It seems that none of the UI components implements serializable. javax.faces.component.UIComponent is the JSF base class that they all use.
Let me know if this works. If not, I think I have another option that mayl do
