I cannot do this, because I have to initialize the detailStamps of all rows separately: the details of one item cause several backend requests that might cost money, and they definitively need time to return (several seconds per request).
Now I wrote a CustomHtmlDataTable (extending HtmlDataTable) that
provides an additional MethodBinding "toggleDetailActionListener".
The toggleDetail method is extended so that it invokes also the method
binding if it's provided.
The hardest thing was to write the facelets MetaTagHandler that sets
the attribute on the CustomHtmlDataTable:
public final class CustomHtmlDataTableHandler extends ComponentHandler {
public CustomHtmlDataTableHandler(ComponentConfig config) {
super( config );
}
protected MetaRuleset createMetaRuleset(Class type) {
return super.createMetaRuleset(type).addRule( ActionSourceRule.Instance
);
}
static final class ActionSourceRule extends MetaRule {
private static final String ACTION_LISTENER_ATT_NAME =
"toggleDetailActionListener";
public final static Class[] ACTION_LISTENER_SIG = new Class[] {
ActionEvent.class };
final static class ActionListenerMapper extends Metadata {
private final TagAttribute attr;
public ActionListenerMapper(TagAttribute attr) {
this.attr = attr;
}
public void applyMetadata(FaceletContext ctx, Object instance) {
((CustomHtmlDataTable) instance)
.setToggleDetailActionListener( new
LegacyMethodBinding(this.attr
.getMethodExpression(ctx, null,
ActionSourceRule.ACTION_LISTENER_SIG)));
}
}
public final static ActionSourceRule Instance = new ActionSourceRule();
public ActionSourceRule() {
super();
}
public Metadata applyRule(String name, TagAttribute attribute,
MetadataTarget meta) {
if (meta.isTargetInstanceOf(CustomHtmlDataTable.class)) {
if (ACTION_LISTENER_ATT_NAME.equals(name)) {
return new ActionListenerMapper(attribute);
}
}
return null;
}
}
}
I hope this is basically the correct approach...

Martin
