Two quick questions. I am using the jscookmenu. I have an actionListener
set on a menu item. Here is the JSF code:
------------------------------
<t:jscookMenu id="cmsMenu" layout="hbr" theme="ThemeOffice">
<t:navigationMenuItem id="nav_1"
actionListener="#{menu.onMenuItemAction}"
itemLabel="TEST LABEL" itemValue="#{menu.test}"
action="#{menu.menuItemAction}"/>
</t:jscookMenu>
------------------------------
The java code of the menu backing bean...
------------------------------
public class CMSMenu {
public MenuItem getTest() {
Site site = this.getSiteInstance();
List<MenuItem> list = site.getMenuItems();
return list.get(0);
}
public void onMenuItemAction(ActionEvent event) {
if (event.getComponent() instanceof HtmlCommandNavigationItem) {
System.out.println(" ActionListener
(HtmlCommandNavigationItem):" +
((HtmlCommandNavigationItem)event.getComponent()).getValue());
} else {
String outcome = (String)((HtmlCommandJSCookMenu)
event.getComponent()).getValue();
System.out.println(" ActionListener
(HtmlCommandJSCookMenu): " + outcome);
}
}
}
------------------------------
Okay.. the two questions:
1. Why is the object returned by event.getComponent() always a
HtmlCommandJSCookMenu object and never a HtmlCommandNavigationItem?
(having the 'if' in the action listener is something I saw the
jscookmenu using.)
2. Why is what the following (which is in the code above) returns always
a String? It seems a toString() is ran on whatever the menu item's value is.
(String)((HtmlCommandJSCookMenu) event.getComponent()).getValue()
Is there a way to get the actual object of the item's value instead
of the string representation of it?
(I am using the nightly build of myfaces & tomahawk.)
Thanks,
David
