Hi list,
I am using a FormTable with FieldColumns. If I set the FieldColum to use
a Label as a field, the value is not rendered, but the name is. Digging
into the source shows why: the Label renders the label only (not the
valueobject). If the label is not set, the name is rendered.
(Field#getLabel() ). As this may sound logical, this behaviour is not
working well in FieldColumns. The FieldColumn will set the valueobject
to whatever getProperty(Object row) returns. When done on a Label, that
value gets ignored.
If I change the Field in FieldColumn to TextField instead of Label the
code works as expected. (Needless to say I don't need a textbox here,
just plain text). Setting the field to NULL in FieldColumn will generate
a NPE, even though FieldColumn allows NULL for field:
FieldColumn.java#renderTableDataContent(Object, HtmlStringBuffer,
Context, int)
if (field == null) {
super.renderTableDataContent(row, buffer, context, rowIndex);
return;
}
What can I use in FieldColumn to show plain text? And are my
expectations correct, and is a bug born?
Cheers,
WarnerJan
