Use of person tag in JSF
|
|
|
| Hi,
I have a question regarding JSF compatibility with the person tag for people awareness.
First of all, it looks like I cannot access the JSF backing bean using #{bean.anygetter} from the person tag. Do I have to maybe define the backing bean as session scope to be able to access it or is this not possible at all.
Second, I want to use the person tag inside a jsf datatable, but instead of displaying the HTML and Java Script Code for each row, it displays it once before the datatable. I guess that again has something to do with the issue, when the datatable is rende
red. Is there a way to use person tags inside a JSF datatable?
Any help is highly appreciated!
Many thanks!
Luis

| I am using the people awareness tag inside a dataTable. In my case the pa:person
tag is rendered on each row. The bean that the table uses is a List object and it
is not in session scope. The dataTable has the parameters:
value="#{pc_LocatorView_PA.statusList}" var="varstatusList"
and the pa:person tag uses the variable like this
value="#{varstatusList.name}"
The pc_LocatorView_PA class is a faces managed request scope bean.

| Hi Ben,
well, I thought it should work this way. However in my case it doesn't.
What JSF version are you using? I'm using 1.0, maybe its because of that.
Could you post a larger code excerpt, so I can compare it to mine.
I cannot get it to work properly.
Thanks
regards
Luis

| I'm not sure what JSF version. It's what came with RAD 6.0.1. Here is my entire
jsp. I'm not sure what this forum will do to the tags, but here goes...

| Just as I thought. The forum strips out anything that looks like html.
The dataTable has the following parameters:
hx:dataTable id="table1" value="#{pc_LocatorView_PA.statusList}" var="varstatusList" styleClass="dataTable" headerClass="headerClass" footerClass="footerClass" rowClasses="rowClass1" columnClasses="columnClass1" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"
The column that has the person tag looks like this without the brackets:
h:column id="column1"
f:facet name="header"
h:outputText styleClass="outputText" value="Name" id="text1" /h:outputText
/f:facet
pa:person value="#{varstatusList.name}" /pa:person
h:column
That's pretty much it. The List gets populated on each request but I suppose
it should work as a session object also.
