Hi! I have this problem, I get "Illegal Model Reference in this context for expression ' #{outboundBean.dataItem.briteId}'." everytime I try to submit.

The jsf page that araises this problem has a form that is supposed to edit data stored in a database. The message above appears for all form items.

The form looks like this:

<h:form id="details">
<h:panelGrid rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.meldingstype == 'CertificateIssuedNotification'}" columns="2" columnClasses="header, noStyle, noStyle">
<h:outputText value="#{bundle['Date']}" styleClass="header"/>
<h:outputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status == 'Sent'}" value="#{outboundBean.dataItem.date}"/>
<h:inputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status != 'Sent'}" value="#{outboundBean.dataItem.date}" id="date"/>
<h:outputText value="#{bundle['Id']}" styleClass="header"/>
<h:outputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status == 'Sent'}" value="#{outboundBean.dataItem.localId}"/>
<h:inputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status != 'Sent'}" value="#{outboundBean.dataItem.localId}" readonly="true" id="id"/>
<h:outputText value="#{bundle['BriteId']}" styleClass="header"/>
<h:outputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status == 'Sent'}" value=" #{outboundBean.dataItem.briteId}"/>
<h:inputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status != 'Sent'}" value=" #{outboundBean.dataItem.briteId}" id="briteId"/>
<h:outputText value="#{bundle['CompanyType']}" styleClass="header"/>
<h:outputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status == 'Sent'}" value=" #{outboundBean.dataItem.companyType}"/>
<h:inputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status != 'Sent'}" value=" #{outboundBean.dataItem.companyType}" id="companyType"/>
<h:outputText value="#{bundle['CompanyREID']}" styleClass="header"/>
<h:outputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status == 'Sent'}" value=" #{outboundBean.dataItem.companyREID}"/>
<h:inputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status != 'Sent'}" value=" #{outboundBean.dataItem.companyREID}" id="companyREID"/>
<h:outputText value="#{bundle['CompanyName']}" styleClass="header"/>
<h:outputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status == 'Sent'}" value=" #{outboundBean.dataItem.companyName}"/>
<h:inputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status != 'Sent'}" value=" #{outboundBean.dataItem.companyName}" id="companyName"/>
<h:outputText value="#{bundle['NewBRId']}" styleClass="header"/>
<h:outputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status == 'Sent'}" value=" #{outboundBean.dataItem.newBRId}"/>
<h:inputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status != 'Sent'}" value=" #{outboundBean.dataItem.newBRId}" id="newBRId"/>
<h:outputText value="#{bundle['OldBRId']}" styleClass="header"/>
<h:outputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status == 'Sent'}" value=" #{outboundBean.dataItem.oldBRId}"/>
<h:inputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status != 'Sent'}" value=" #{outboundBean.dataItem.oldBRId}" id="oldBRId"/>
<h:outputText value="#{bundle['CertificateDocRef']}" styleClass="header"/>
<h:outputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status == 'Sent'}" value=" #{outboundBean.dataItem.certificateDocRef}"/>
<h:inputText rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status != 'Sent'}" value=" #{outboundBean.dataItem.certificateDocRef}" id="certificateDocRef"/>
<h:commandButton rendered="#{outboundBean.dataItem.status != 'Sent'}" action="#{outboundBean.newCertificateIssuedNotification}" value="Register"/>
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>

OutboundBean is the managed bean, dataItem is a reference to a datastorage class, and briteId etc. reffers to the getters and setters in this class.

The form gets filled out, so the getters works. But if I try to submit, the errormessages appears.

"Illegal Model Reference in this context for expression ' #{outboundBean.dataItem.briteId}'. Illegal Model Reference in this context for expression ' #{outboundBean.dataItem.oldBRId}'. Illegal Model Reference in this context for expression ' #{outboundBean.dataItem.newBRId}'. Illegal Model Reference in this context for expression ' #{outboundBean.dataItem.companyName}'. Illegal Model Reference in this context for expression ' #{outboundBean.dataItem.companyREID}'. Illegal Model Reference in this context for expression ' #{outboundBean.dataItem.certificateDocRef}'. Illegal Model Reference in this context for expression ' #{outboundBean.dataItem.companyType}'."

For some reason, "date" and "localId" gives no errormessage. All values in this form is String.

I use JSF 1.1, Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0, if this matters.

Somebody have an idea how I can solve this problem? I've tried google and searching this forum, without any luck.
