Re: Mixing trinidad with tomahwak -

[Renzo Tomaselli]

Martin, this is just an EL function. This approach is a nested two-loop schema: for each row     for each column in current row        fetch value (row, column)           .... in my taglib.xml the retrieving function is declared as:     <function>         <function-name>getValueAt</function-name>         <function-class>com.conaxo.jsf.Record</function-class>         <function-signature>Object getValueAt(com.conaxo.jsf.Record, int)</function-signature>     </function> where Record instances are just rows, and function implementation is (in class Record):     public static Object getValueAt(Record record, int index) {         if (record == null)             return null;         return record.getValue(index);     } I had to use a function since a getter on Record cannot take any index argument to retrieve current column. At this point everything depends on your actual implementation. -- Renzo Martin Hinterndorfer wrote: Thank you very much. This might help a lot. One question remains: how do you resolve the actual value, which should be displayed? In the code-snipped you provided it works with cx:getValue(row, index) Is this a special tag-library I can use too? 2007/9/10, Renzo Tomaselli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Andrew, c:forEach inside tr:table works perfectly, even when changing column layout from request to request. This topic has been discussed on this list sometime ago. Something like this:         <tr:table id="result"                 value="#{bean.data}"                 var="row"                 rows="#{bean.rowsPerPage}"                 varStatus="rowIndex"                 ....             <c:forEach var="column" items="#{bean.columnHeaders}" varStatus="iteration">                 <tr:column align="#{column.alignement}" noWrap="true">                     <f:facet name="header">                         <tr:outputText value="#{column.localizedLabel}"/>                     </f:facet>                     <c:if test="#{column.type == 0}">                         <tr:outputText value="#{cx:getValueAt(row, iteration.index)}" inlineStyle="padding-right: 10px"/>                     </c:if>                     <c:if test="#{column.type == 1}">                         <h:graphicImage value="#{cx:getValueAt(row, iteration.index)}"/>                     </c:if>                     <c:if test="#{column.type == 2}">                         <h:graphicImage value="#{cx:getValueAt(row, iteration.index)}" style="cursor: pointer;"                                                         />                     </c:if>                     <c:if test="#{column.type == 3}">                         <cx:toolbarHolder bean="#{cx:getValueAt(row, iteration.index)}" />                     </c:if>                 </tr:column>             </c:forEach> On the other hand, I'm not sure that tr:table accepts non-column children, such as tr:iterator. For example, ui:repeat wouldn't work. -- Renzo Andrew Robinson wrote: As a work around, if you are using facelets you could use c:forEach to generate new column components during the facelet build. I haven't used it yet, so not sure if it would work, but have you tried <tr:iterator>? If it works, the view may be something like: <tr:table value="#{rows}" ...> <tr:iterator value="#{columns}" ...> <tr:column> </tr:iterator> </tr:table> Like I say, I have no idea if this would work, but worth a shot or at least a look in the code for the DesktopTableRenderer -A On 9/10/07, Martin Hinterndorfer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi everyone! I need to build a table with a variable amout of columns (with different headers and data types). We are planning to use trinidad, whereas trinidad has no <columns>-Tag, like tomahawk has. As far as I know, I can use the binding attribute to build the component-tree programatically, but it looks as if the table will become quite complex (buttons, validators, converters...), so this is not a very preferable approach. Does anybody have experience in mixing a trinidad application with the tomahawk <t:dataTable> and <t:columns> components? Any pros or cons? Thanks in advance! Martin Hinterndorfer
