Accessing Managed Beans from Java

The following link shows a helpful article comparing alternate ways of using Java to programmatically retrieve an ADF Faces or JSF managed bean.  In other words, this is how to evaluate EL in Java code.

BIDI via EL in ADF Faces

At some point, you may have an inlineStyle whose value is BIDI sensitive; in LTR (left-to-right) mode, you may want a “left” style but in RTL (right-to-left) mode, you may want a “right” style.  You don’t have to write a managed bean to give you the corresponding style, you can use EL (expression language).

Here’s an example assigning a padding for the “start” side of 10px:

inlineStyle="padding-#{adfFacesContext.rightToLeft?'right':'left'}:10px;"

See oracle.adf.view.rich.context.AdfFacesContext for other properties.
