panelMenu/panelBar datatable

[johnw75]

Hi @ all,

<rich:panelMenu binding="#{testingBean.panelMenu}" />
<rich:panelBar binding="#{testingBean.panelBar}" />

I'am testing a panelMenu or panelBar to insert an datatable which is filled by an collection. I successfully inserted a datatable in an panelBarItem oder PanelMenuItem; datatable shows the correct rows and columns, but not the values of each column. My second problem is that i can't select the datatable to edit a row.

The Idea of this small project is to get an expandable table with richfaces, which habe dynamic values from a database.

A small cut of the code:

FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ELContext elContext = facesContext.getELContext();
Application application = facesContext.getApplication();
ExpressionFactory elFactory = facesContext.getApplication()
.getExpressionFactory();

setPanelMenu(panelMenu);
getPanelMenu().setId("panelMenu");
getPanelMenu().setMode("ajax"); getPanelMenu().setIconExpandedTopGroup("/images/process/minus16.png");
getPanelMenu().setIconCollapsedTopGroup("/images/process/plus16.png");
getPanelMenu().setIconGroupTopPosition("left");

int count = 0;
List panelList = getPanelMenu().getChildren();

for (TemplateGroupVO groupItem : serviceTemplate
.getProcessTemplatesGrouped()) {

HtmlPanelMenuGroup panelMenuGroup = new HtmlPanelMenuGroup();
panelMenuGroup.setId("panelMenuGroupItem" + count );
panelMenuGroup.setLabel(groupItem.getVertragsart() + " ("
+ groupItem.getTemplateGroupSize() + ")");
panelMenuGroup.setData(groupItem);
panelMenuGroup.setRendered(true);

List panelMenuGroupList = panelMenuGroup.getChildren();
HtmlPanelMenuItem panelMenuItem = new HtmlPanelMenuItem();
panelMenuItem.setId("panelMenuItem" + zaehler);
panelMenuItem.setRendered(true);
panelMenuItem.setIcon("/images/process/x.gif");

List templateVOList = new ArrayList();

for (TemplateVO menuItem : groupItem.getTemplateGroup()) {
TemplateVO templateVO = new TemplateVO();
templateVO.setId(menuItem.getId());

...
templateVOList.add(templateVO);
}

String[] columns = new String[] { "id", ...};
String[] valueExp = new String[] { "#{templateVO.id}",..};

HtmlDataTable datatable = new HtmlDataTable();
datatable.setValue(templateVOList);
datatable.setCellpadding("4");
datatable.setCellpadding("4");
datatable.setWidth("100%");
datatable.setSortMode("Single");

for (int i = 0; i < columns.length; i++) {
HtmlOutputText header = new HtmlOutputText();
header.setValue(columns);

HtmlOutputText content = new HtmlOutputText();
ValueExpression valueExpression = elFactory
createValueExpression(elContext, valueExp,
String.class);
content.setValueExpression("value", valueExpression);

HtmlColumn column = new HtmlColumn();
column.setId("col" + i);
column.setHeader(header);
column.getChildren().add(content);
column.setSortBy(valueExp);
column.setSortable(true);
column.setSelfSorted(true);
datatable.getChildren().add(column);
}

panelMenuItem.setId("datatable" + count);
panelMenuItem.getChildren().add(datatable);

panelMenuGroupList.add(panelMenuItem);

panelList.add(panelMenuGroup);
count++;
}


Can somebody help me?

thanks.
