    Include as child of UITab

    dhalupa

      Hi there,

      In one of my components I am dynamically creating UITabPanel components as well as UITabs as children of UITabPanel. The problem is that when I add an instance of Include to a children collection of UITab, the content of included page does not gets rendered. The code snippet is bellow. I have to mention that when I add some other component as child of UITab it renders itself without any problem.

      UITab tabDocuments = new HtmlTab();
      tabDocuments.setLabel("Documents");
      tabPanel.getChildren().add(tabDocuments);
      Include include=new Include();
      include.setViewId("/jsp/task-management/package-documents.jspx");
      tabDocuments.getChildren().add(include);
      


      Am I missing something here, please help..

      Kind regards,

      Denis

            'include' component are not a standalone, but some functionality is included into jsp/facelets tag. As far as, this component can't be created in code.

              Thanks for quick answer.. In that case reference guide should be corrected because it is misleading, page 87

                Hi Denis,

                I am experiencing the same problem as you did here (trying to dynamically create a tabPanel with a facelets include as it's body. I can get the tab to render but not the tab content.


                Have you find a way how to do this.

                Anyone any suggestions how this can be done?

                Cheers

                Here is my code, obviously i will be creating more than one tab.

                 public HtmlTabPanel getTabs() {
                 if(tabs == null){
                 tabs = new HtmlTabPanel();
                 Application application = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication();
                 List<UIComponent> children = tabs.getChildren();
                 HtmlTab newTab = (HtmlTab)application.createComponent(HtmlTab.COMPONENT_TYPE);
                 children.add(newTab);
                 newTab.setLabel("Party Search");
                 newTab.setName("Party Search");
                 newTab.setActive(true);
                 UIInclude include=new Include();
                 include.setViewId("/pages/party/partydetails.xhtml");
                 newTab.setData(include);
                 tabs.setSelectedTab("Party Search");
                 }
                 return tabs;
                 }

                  As mentioned above, not possible, there is some logic in ComponentHandler class (did not bother to investigate what kind of logic) which is not invoked if you create component from java. I was lucky that not all of tabs in my tab panel has to be dynamic therefore I have created tabs with include as child in markup and the rest of tabs I am creating from java

                  Kind regards,
