To access a JSF component on a Faces JSP page, you first define an EGL variable of that component's type. Then, you assign that variable to the JSF component. The source assistant can create this code for you most of the time. For more information, see Accessing a JSF component from a pageHandler.
controlVar = findComponent(controlName);
"form1:text1"
Once you have assigned the variable to the JSF control, you can use functions on that variable to make changes to the JSF component. Different types of JSF controls accept different functions.
