How to use facelets' ui:param in 8M1?

Answered

I have a JSF-managed session bean named selectContactSession. In my jsf page, I wrote

<ui:param name="model" value="#{selectContactSession.model}" />

Then IDEA cannot resolve the variable 'model'.

If I write

<c:set var="model" value="#{selectContactSession.model}" />

then IDEA understands what 'model' is.

I never use c:set in JSF so I'm not sure if I can replace all ui:param with it.

We have the same problem. Parameter cannot be resolved by IDEA in child pages.

Same problem here, parameter cannot be resolved in the same page.

Bug still exists after 12 years... It is really annoying, isn't there a fix available somehow? Or a way to tell JSF that the parameter is expected or something without usind the c:set tag? I don't want to directly insert JSP tags into my application

There is no workaround, unfortunately. 

Here is the bug request for that: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-63450

Actually, I found a workaround:

You can change your facelet from something like this:

<h:body>
<ui:composition>
<h:outputText value="#{parameterName}"/>
</ui:composition>
</h:body>

to something like this:

<h:body>
<!--@elvariable id="parameterName" type="java.lang.String"-->
<ui:composition>
<h:outputText value="#{parameterName}"/>
</ui:composition>
</h:body>

So, you basically just have to add this macro/comment/whatever and change the id and type accordingly, but this shouldn't be the only way
