RichFaces + Seam + Manually creating components (java code)

[utiba_davidr]

Hey,

I am hoping someone here can help me work out how to dynamically build a PanelMenu. I have implemented the code (in a way I think is meant to work):

DynamicMenu class:

@Name("dmenu")
@AutoCreate
public class DynamicMenu {

 private List menuItems;

 public List getMenuItems() {
 if (menuItems == null) {
 System.out.println("Pimping out the menu ...");

 HtmlPanelMenuGroup myPanelMenuGroup = new HtmlPanelMenuGroup();
 myPanelMenuGroup.setLabel("My Group");

 HtmlPanelMenuItem myPanelMenuItem = new HtmlPanelMenuItem();
 myPanelMenuItem.setLabel("My Item");

 myPanelMenuGroup.setValue(new Object[]{myPanelMenuItem});

 menuItems.add(myPanelMenuGroup);
 }

 return menuItems;
 }

 public void setMenuItems(List menuItems) {
 this.menuItems = menuItems;
 }

}

XHTML code:

 <rich:panelMenu style="width:200px"
 iconExpandedGroup="disc" iconCollapsedGroup="disc"
 iconExpandedTopGroup="chevronUp" iconGroupTopPosition="right"
 iconCollapsedTopGroup="chevronDown" iconCollapsedTopPosition="right"
 rendered="#{identity.loggedIn}"
 binding="#{dmenu.menuItems}"/>

The issue so far in trying to get this example to work is that i am not sure where to put the rich faces JARS so that my EJB code can find them as well. Currently I have the richfaces-api inside the ear and richfaces-ui and richfaces-impl inside WEB-INF/lib inside the war file.

I am running version 3.1.2.GA of richfaces and 2.0.GA for Seam.

Thanks in advance,

David

In JSF, if you create any active and namespace components from the java code, define the id explicitly.
