I created the datatables dyniamically and am still getting a combined
sort on the sub tables. I can see through logging:
UIComponent uic = (UIComponent)dynamicTable.getChildren().get(j);
uic.getClientId(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()) =
_idJsp0:_idJsp109:wesTable8024
uic.getFamily() = javax.faces.Column
uic.getClientId(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()) =
_idJsp0:_idJsp109:wesCol4071
uic.getFamily() = javax.faces.Data
...After setting...
dynamicSubTable = new HtmlDataTable();
dynamicSubTable.setId("wesTable" + carDao.genRand());
The component tree has been built with a combination of JSF tags and
dynamically populating/building the table through my managed bean.
The only thing that is giving me any hope at this point is that the
built in sortable="true" (on the columns) will sort in the context of
the parent table. So if I have 2 datatables with sub tables in the
detailStamp, they WILL sort independently. But for some reason, even
though I am setting the id dynamically at this point, I still can't
get a independent sort of the child tables.
My only idea for a workaround at this point is to create a 1 row
datatable for each row in the table. Or wrap the sub table with
another datatable.
