Read about parameter type coercion here:

Hi Nick,

Thanks, it works!, I tried to avoid asking question first so I have been
reading outputraw doc for a long time, but can't understand it, here is:

Name    Type    Flags   Default Default Prefix  Description
value   String  Required                prop    The value to to render. If 
unbound, and a
property of the container matches the component's id, then that property
will be the source of the value.

Here is how I undertand it:

Value : parameter name, use it to specify a data source
String : the data source should be a string, but the currentTime is a date
in my sample, still acceptable, why?
Prop: the data source should have a prefix which defaults to 'prob'

and also the description, how to interpret it? help me understand it so that
I can understand the rest of the doc, thanks.

A.C.

Attributes default to the prop binding, so there's no need to use
expansions:
     <t:outputraw value = "currentTime}" />

See the current "loop problem" thread.

Hi Erik,

To make things easier, i use this:

  public Date getCurrentTime()
        {
                return new Date();

}

then in my html file I use:

  <t:outputraw value = "${CurrentTime}" />

when the page is displayed second time, the time does not change, you
have
to restart the program to have the time updated, my impression is,
outputraw
will update the template and remain static until re-start, if that's the
case, my question is, how to display html formated data?

Hi Angelo,

And how did you define currentuser? Any annotations?
