Hello,
I'd like to split a page up into two regions. The region on the right
is to hold a tree2 component and the region on the left is to hold some
plain old content. The solution should allow for mouse-drag resizing
and I would also like the tree2 region to contain both horizontal and
vertical scroll bars when required (i.e. a vertical scroll for a long
list and a horizontal scroll bar for long tree node names). Also, I
would like to do this using facelets. Is Tiles the best option here?
Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I think Tiles is irrelevant here. It certainly does not provide any of
the functionality you describe.
Achieving this will probably take some hefty javascript. I believe that
resizable panes like you describe can be implemented by using javascript
to catch mouse events and to update the width property of DOM nodes
within the browser. That's standard DHTML, not JSF.
Having scrollbars around one component (when needed) sounds to me like
you need an IFrame enclosing the tree. That's standard HTML not JSF.
I guess a "split pane" component that emits the necessary javascript to
do this would be a nice addition to the tomahawk library, but no such
thing currently exists, so you'll need to write it yourself or pay
someone to do it.
Regards,
Simon
