How do I reference custom EL function in ADF page fragments

Question

I would like to create a static (helper) function which will check if a given variable belongs to a set of predefined values. I want to use it as an EL function in order to reference it in a jsff file (via java's EL). The question is: how do I reference the custom function inside the JSFF since it is a page fragment and I cannot access the form templates which the fragment belongs to due to its compilation.

Answer 1

You can have an element from your jsff binded on this function by setting the function's class as the jsff scope in the adfc-config.xml in the "managed-bean" tab and the calling it as follow :

<af:outputText
id="pt1"
viewId="#{YOURSCOPE.YOURBEAN.YOURFUNCTION}"
