I need to make a small form where user types a number into the inputField, and clicks on a button, then is sent to a page, using that number as a parameter to the page.
So far I got into this:
<p:inputText id="myText" style="width:75px;" />
<p:commandButton id="myButton" value="Ir"
action="/site/page.xhtml?id=${param['form:myButton']}"
title="Ir" ajax="false" proces="@this,myText" />
tried with ${param['form:myButton']}
and #{param['form:myButton']}
, error is the same.
Problem is, JSF thinks its a method expression...
GRAVE: Servlet.service() for servlet [Faces Servlet] in context with path [/intranet] threw exception [/myPage action="/site/page.xhtml?id=${param['form:myButton']}".xhtml @95,41 action="/site/page.xhtml?id=${param['form:myButton']}" Not a Valid Method Expression: action="/site/page.xhtml?id=${param['form:myButton']}" with root cause

and this is the bottom-most exception trace.
Question: how can I pass the value typed into of the input-field into the action of the Button when the button is clicked, so the browser navigates to the desired page passing the value in the input as a parameter, without resorting to a backing bean.
I don't need to communicate with the server, just forward the page.
any solution using jQuery or plain javascript in tandem with JSF is acceptable too.
using mojarra, primefaces 3.3.1
