Java Development Tools

I have a VO, created from an EO with a custom query.
sampleVo ::: attribute1, attribute2, attribute3, attribute4
And I need to use this VO in Front End for 2 use cases.
In one case, all the attributes (input fields) should be displayed.
In the other case, only the first 3 attributes (input fields) should be displayed.
And I want to achieve this using a single jspx page.
I have added all the attributes to the jspx page. And I'm using a hidden field getter method to hide attribute4 (Mentioned by Timo in https://community.oracle.com/tech/developers/discussion/2517074/how-to-call-a-method-call-after-view-loads))

<af:outputText id="ot5" visible="false"
                                   value="#{pageBean.lastFieldValue}"/>

    public String getLastFieldValue()
    {
        if (_logger.isLoggable(Level.INFO))
        {
            StringBuilder logMsg = new StringBuilder("Information: LAST I'm here!");

            _logger.info(logMsg.toString());
        }
        //do your work here
        return "xxx";
    }

My question is, is this the best way to do this (Having all the attributes in the page, and hiding a one when required).
And as per my knowledge, the attribute bindings are not accessible until the pageload is completed.
So I figured, we can't do any implementation at the task flows as well.
I wish to have a good understanding about this, but couldn't find any detailed documentation on this.
