Execute controller method in apex page?

I know this is a very simple question, but my search in the IDE help revealed nothing.  If I have a method in a controller, how do I execute it in the view?  For example:

 

// ----------------------

// In the controller

 

    public static String test(String arg)
    {
        return arg;
    }

 

// ----------------------

// In the view

 

<div>{!test('foo')}</div>

 

Thanks!

You cannot call a method which has arguments from a page.

 

Better you define a constructor and call your method from the constructor.

 

/*Under your constructor*/

test('foo');

It will depend on the event. You want to execute it on Page Load or at any specific event?

put the action attribute in the page component in ordre to run that method

 

 

<apex:page action="{!test}"/>
