rich:panelMenu

[krzysgdynia]

I want to use panelMenu to navigate between pages. I have a problem with passing active item in panelMenu after page is rendered.
I tried to use:
- selectedChild (in panelMenu component)
- name (in panelMenuGroup and panelMenuItem components)
- and Stateful bean to remember active item
but it doesn't work.
I use Seam2.0.0CR2.

Below are details:

<rich:panelMenu style="width: 100%; width:200px; "
iconExpandedGroup="disc" iconCollapsedGroup="disc"
iconExpandedTopGroup="chevronUp" iconGroupTopPosition="right"
iconCollapsedTopGroup="chevronDown" iconCollapsedTopPosition="right"
rendered="#{identity.loggedIn}" selectedChild="#{menuRend.activeItem}" expandSingle="true">
<rich:panelMenuGroup label="#{msg['view.miasta.title']}" name="miasta">
<rich:panelMenuItem label="#{msg['view.miasta.dodaj']}" action="#{menuRend.addMiasto}" name="addMiasto"/>
<rich:panelMenuItem label="#{msg['view.miasta.lista']}" action="#{menuRend.showMiasta}" name="showMiasta"/>
</rich:panelMenuGroup>
<rich:panelMenuGroup label="#{msg['view.jednostki.title']}" name="jednostki">
<rich:panelMenuItem label="#{msg['view.jednostki.dodaj']}" action="#{menuRend.addJednostka}" name="addJednostka"/>
<rich:panelMenuItem label="#{msg['view.jednostki.lista']}" action="#{menuRend.showJednostki}" name="showJednostki"/>
</rich:panelMenuGroup>
<rich:panelMenuGroup label="#{msg['view.organProwadzacy.title']}" name="organProwadzacy">
<rich:panelMenuItem label="#{msg['view.organProwadzacy.dodaj']}" action="#{menuRend.addOrganProwadzacy}" name="addOrganProwadzacy"/>
<rich:panelMenuItem label="#{msg['view.organProwadzacy.lista']}" action="#{menuRend.showOrganyProwadzace}" name="showOrganyProwadzace"/>
</rich:panelMenuGroup>
</rich:panelMenu>



@Name("menuRend")
@Stateful
public class MenuRendering implements IMenuRendering {

private String activeItem;

public String getActiveItem() {
return activeItem;
}

public String showMiasta(){
this.activeItem = "showMiasta";
return "/miasta/MiastaList.xhtml";
}

public String addMiasto(){
this.activeItem = "addMiasto";
return "/miasta/MiastaEdit.xhtml";
}

public String showJednostki() {
this.activeItem = "showJednostki";
return "/jednostki/JednostkiList.xhtml";

}

public String addJednostka() {
this.activeItem = "addJednostka";
return "/jednostki/JednostkiEdit.xhtml";

}

.........
}

Thanks for the help

Does nobody know how to use selectedChild in rich:panelMenu ?

[sdelvalle]

You must set the id for the panelMenuItem tag, and then set that value in the selectedChild attrbute for the panelMenu tag

Thank you for answer but I tried it already.
Anybody used panelMenu? I don't know what for is selectedChild arribute in panelMenu tag. It doesn't work.
I try:
- use id for bind with selectedChild
- use name for bind with selectedChild
- I updated richfaces to 3.1.2.GA.
I read richfaces_reference.pdf and I haven't idea how to use selectedChild ("contain the name or the clientId of any of the item
or group, the child defined in this attribute should be
highlighted on PanelMenu rendering" - are you sure????).

Thanks for any help

I found solution by set expanded (panelMenuGroup, itemMenu) and selectedChild (panelMenu).
