ReadOnly attribute not showing

Question

I'm trying to create two views of a page where one is readonly and another one is editable.
The form page does the following:
               <h:commandLink value="Create Record"
                    action="#{Bean.readOnlyAccess}">
                    <f:param name="readOnly" value="false" />
               </h:commandLink>
               <h:commandLink value="View Record"
                    action="#{Bean.readOnlyAccess}">
                    <f:param name="readOnly" value="readonly" />
               </h:commandLink>
and the corresponding backing bean is able to get the value which I tested with System.out.
But when the Record page is generated there is no readonly="" in the HTML code at all. I've tried setting <f:param name="readOnly" value="true" /> but that did not make any difference. This is the Record jsf code:
<h:inputTextarea id="titleSubtitle" value="#{Bean.Record.title}" cols="60" rows="8" readonly="#{Bean.readOnly}"/>
Is there another method that I can set a readOnly value to this Record page?

According to the HTML specification , the readonly attribute takes values 'yes' or 'no' and not 'true' or 'false', so maybe modifying your code accordingly can solve your problemI applaud your attempt to help, but you are basically repeating what EJP already hinted at and you do it 8 days after the last post has been made. Surely the OP has already solved his/her problem, or else this thread wouldn't have stopped. Be a sport and don't resurrect posts where it isn't necessary; that keeps the forum clean and accessible.
