dropDownMenu

[g00se24]

Hello,
I would like to build my menu dynamically. It's necessary for me to implement a workspace switcher (seam component) by using a dropdownmenu.

I tried it with:

<rich:dropDownMenu value="Start">
<rich:menuGroup value="Workspaces">
<ui:repeat value="#{conversationList} var="list">
<rich:menuItem>
#{list.description}
</rich:menuItem>
</ui:repeat>
</rich:menuGroup>
</rich:dropDownMenu>

But their is nothing displayed, since I know their is more than one workspace open...
Does anybody have an idea?

Why you can't use just binding to build menu from the model?

Since I'm using a default seam component, I wouldn't like to build a wrapper component...
That's why i'm not using a binding.
I've just found a nice thing:

 <rich:menuGroup value="Workspaces" disabled="#{empty conversationList}">
<rich:menuItem>
 <ui:repeat value="#{conversationList}" var="item">
 <rich:menuItem submitMode="none">
 #{item.description}
 </rich:menuItem>
 </ui:repeat>
</rich:menuItem>
 </rich:menuGroup>

works, but does not show a nice menu ;)...

did you ever get an answer to this question? I am trying to do something similiar and was wondering if it was possible....or maybe i am missing something obvious and there is a better way to do it. Any advice would be great.

thx

i have found one way to get this to work based on teh article at http://jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=108612

you can use the c:forEach tag and iterate that way.
