How to use <a4j:repeat> inside <rich:dropDownMenu> and </ri

[marimuthu-a]

Hai,
we are using Rich faces component.
We need dropdownmenu dynamically, i got the data from java program but did n't display in view?
I used the following codes,

<a4j:repeat value="#{MenuLists.items}" var="oCategory">
 <rich:dropDownMenu>
 <f:facet name="label">
 <h:panelGroup>
 <rich:spacer style="width:1px;height:16px;" styleClass="pic" />
 <h:outputText
 style="width:1px;height:19px;vertical-align: middle;"
 styleClass="pic" value="#{oCategory.name}" />
 </h:panelGroup>
 </f:facet>
 <a4j:repeat var="oModule" value="#{oCategory.module}">
 <rich:menuGroup value="#{oModule.name}">
 </rich:menuGroup>
 </a4j:repeat>
 </rich:dropDownMenu>
 </a4j:repeat>

First <a4j:repeat> tag is working fine.
But <a4j:repeat> tag is not run inside <rich:dropDownMenu> tags?
How to use it?

c:forEach for facelets or binding for facelets should be used. discussed many times in other threads.

Thanks ur reply.
plz give more information about <c:forEach>.
Is it correct or not(myself use)?
In JSF...

<a4j:repeat value="#{MenuLists.items}" var="oCategory">
 <rich:dropDownMenu>
 <f:facet name="label">
 <h:panelGroup>
 <rich:spacer style="width:1px;height:16px;" styleClass="pic" />
 <h:outputText
 style="width:1px;height:19px;vertical-align: middle;"
 styleClass="pic" value="#{oCategory.name}" />
 </h:panelGroup>
 </f:facet>

 <c:forEach items="#{oCategory.module}" var="oModule">
 <rich:menuGroup value="#{oModule.name}">
 <c:forEach items="#{oModule.function}" var="oFunction">
 <rich:menuItem submitMode="none" value="#{oFunction.name}"
 onclick="document.location.href='VendorDetailsInsert.jsf'"></rich:menuItem>
 </c:forEach>
 </rich:menuGroup>
 </c:forEach>

 </rich:dropDownMenu>
</a4j:repeat>

In faces config file..

<managed-bean>
 <managed-bean-name>MenuLists</managed-bean-name>
 <managed-bean-class>com.erp.admin.MenuLists</managed-bean-class>
 <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
 </managed-bean>

MenuLists java class has

public class MenuLists {

 List<category> items = null;

 /**
 * @return the items
 */
 public List<category> getItems() {
 items=new ArrayList<category>();
 for(int i=0;i<1;i++)
 {
 category oCategory=new category();
 oCategory.setName("Master");
 ArrayList<Module> module=new ArrayList<Module>();
 for(int j=0;j<3;j++)
 {
 Module oModule=new Module();
 oModule.setName("Customer");
 ArrayList<Function> function=new ArrayList<Function>();
 for(int k=0;k<2;k++)
 {
 Function oFunction=new Function();
 oFunction.setName("Add");
 function.add(oFunction);
 }
 oModule.setFunction(function);
 module.add(oModule);
 }
 oCategory.setModule(module);
 items.add(oCategory);
 }

 return items;
 }

 /**
 * @param items the items to set
 */
 public void setItems(List<category> items) {
 this.items = items;
 }


}

category and Function are separate class.
categoty has,

public class category {

 private String name;

 private ArrayList<Module> module;

 /**
 * @return the name
 */
 public String getName() {
 return name;
 }

 /**
 * @param name the name to set
 */
 public void setName(String name) {
 this.name = name;
 }

 /**
 * @return the module
 */
 public ArrayList<Module> getModule() {
 System.out.println("getModule "+module);
 return module;
 }

 /**
 * @param module the module to set
 */
 public void setModule(ArrayList<Module> module) {
 System.out.println("setModule "+module);
 this.module = module;
 }

}

and Function has

public class Function {
 private String name;

 /**
 * @return the name
 */
 public String getName() {
 return name;
 }

 /**
 * @param name the name to set
 */
 public void setName(String name) {
 this.name = name;
 }
}

I need Menus dynamically,These values like customer,Add are taken from DB later(now i hard coded).
I did n't mention anything in faces config file about category and Function class...
