Hi,
I would like to render radio buttons differently to include the "for"
attribute in the label tag. So when I do this:
<h:selectOneRadio>
<f:selectItem value="#{bean.options}" />
</h:selectOneRadio>
I want this set of radio buttons would render like so:
<label for="radio1">
<input type="radio" id="radio1" value="Y" />Yes
</label>
<label for="radio2">
<input type="radio" id="radio2" value="N" />No
</label>
Currently I have extended the HtmlRadioRenderer class in the
org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.ext package. However I'm not sure how
to configure my faces-config so that all <h:selectOneRadio> tags would
use my extended renderer.
My main concerns are the <component-family> and <render-type> tags, as
I'm not sure what values to set them to. I tried doing:
<renderer>
<component-family>myRadio</component-family>
<renderer-type>org.apache.myfaces.Radio</renderer-type>
<renderer-class>com.my.example.extendedHtmlRadioRenderer</renderer-class>
</renderer>
and
<renderer>
<component-family>myRadio</component-family>
<renderer-type>javax.faces.Radio</renderer-type>
<renderer-class>com.my.example.extendedHtmlRadioRenderer</renderer-class>
</renderer>
but none worked.
Has anyone already gotten this to work, or perhaps can someone give me
suggestions as to what I should try?
As can be seen in the .tld file, h:selectOneRadio is handled by
org.apache.myfaces.taglib.html.HtmlSelectOneRadioTag.
This tag class shows clearly that it uses renderer-type of
"javax.faces.Radio".
The actual component type is javax.faces.HtmlSelectOneRadio, and
inherits its COMPONENT_FAMILY from parent class UISelectOne, which
defines it as "javax.faces.SelectOne".
So:
<renderer>
<component-family>javax.faces.SelectOne</component-family>
<renderer-type>javax.faces.Radio</renderer-type>
<renderer-class>....</renderer-class>
</renderer>
should work for you.
