Passing parameter from JS to Java Bean.

Question

We are using bing map to display outages data.
Now requiement is
in our JS we have
var description;
description=description + "<br><br>" + "Click " + "<a href='javascript:openPopUp()'>"+"*here*"+"</a>" + " to view full list of incidents";
I am also getting cityname[i]
so here i need to pass cityname on click of here to one of my java bean function.
from where i am calling one method that takes city name as input and will return full list of incidents.

Answer 1

here is how i was able to do .. In my javascript I am preparing param set and setting it to an event and raising this event.
On my UI.. using a ServerListener.. I am binding this event to an bean method where I am able to access the param.
here is the javascript:
function myClientListener(event){
var element = event.getSource();
var param = {city:"new york", country:"US"};
AdfCustomEvent.queue(element, "jsServerListener", param, true);
event.cancel();
jspx:
<af:serverListener type="jsServerListener"
method="#{MyBean.serverEventHandler}"/>
bean method:
public void serverEventHandler(ClientEvent clientEvent) {
System.out.println(clientEvent.getParameters().get("city"));
System.out.println(clientEvent.getParameters().get("country"));
