Hi John,
I found the goButton's destination expression do not read value from any controls e.g.: Input Text.
Is there anyway to read some value, that input by user not in the db, on the screen?
e.g.: I have a Input Text for user to input a date to print the report. I've tried to binding the control in backingBean, but I get a null value from the goButton's destination function.
the jspx:
<af:inputText label="Search" id="it1"
                        value="#{backingBeanScope.backing_goUrl.it1Value}" autoSubmit="true"/>
<af:goButton text="goButton 1" id="gb1" targetFrame="_blank"
                       destination="#{backingBeanScope.backing_goUrl.searchURL}"/>in the backing bean:
public class GoUrl {
  private String it1Value;
  public String getIt1Value() {
    return it1Value;
  public void setIt1Value(String it1Value) {
    this.it1Value = it1Value;
  public String getSearchURL() {
    String s = getIt1Value();
    return "http://www.google.com/search?hl=zh-tw&q="+s; // the result of s is always null.
  }Cheers,
