Re: dynamic number of panelTabs in panelTabbedPane

[Enrique Medina]

Well, I have used the approach of creating the components in the setter of the property. This approach has the advantage that the component you are binding to is created by JSF and then passed as a parameter to your setter, so you can use that reference to create all the hierarchy of components.

Hi,

Thanks.  I'm quite new to faces and i've never used the component
bindings before, actually.  What is the best practice for organizing this?

Should I have something like this in faces-config.xml:

    <managed-bean>
        <managed-bean-name>Bean</managed-bean-name>
        <managed-bean-class>com.web.Bean</managed-bean-class>
        <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
        <managed-property>
            <property-name>tabs</property-name>

<property-class>org.apache.myfaces.custom.tabbedpane.HtmlPanelTabbedPane</property-class>
            <value>#{ Bean.initTabs}</value>
        </managed-property>
    </managed-bean>

and then have

public HtmlPanelTabbedPane initTabs();
public HtmlPanelTabbedPane getTabs();
public void setTabs(HtmlPanelTabbedPane hptp);

?

Thanks,
