Hi.
I'm facing a problem with the dataTable. If I enable sorting by using the sortBy attribute of a column it works fine (on jsp side). But if I create the column dynamically as HtmlColumn in the managed bean and click on the sort icon, it doesn't do anything - no sorting, no error shown. Here is a part of the code:
private void addColumn(String attribute, String columnHeader, Class<?> expectedReturnType) {
HtmlColumn column = new HtmlColumn();
HtmlOutputText header = new HtmlOutputText();
header.setValue(columnHeader);
column.getFacets().put("header", header);
column.setValueExpression("sortBy",
JSFUtils.createValueExpression("item",
attribute, expectedReturnType));
HtmlOutputText output = new HtmlOutputText();
output.setValueExpression("value",
JSFUtils.createValueExpression("item",
attribute, expectedReturnType));
column.getChildren().add(output);
this.dataTable.getChildren().add(column);
}
The JSFUtils.createValueExpression returns a ValueExpression instance.
