I have to display a slightly complicated page which has a list containing a list and that containing a list etc...
e.g. say you have a list of employees by dept..i.e. at the top level my backing bean returns a list of EmpDeptVOs and each item in the list (EmpDeptVO) is defined as
EmpDeptVO {
String dept;
List<EmplVO>; {list of emp belonging to dept)
}
Now I have to loop through this list and render each EmpVO object which inturn contains lists like EmpDetails, EmpExperiences, EmpCertifications etc... which essentially would be rendered using h:dataTable.
So my page is something like this
<c:ForEach items="backingBean.empDeptVOList" var="empDeptVO " >
<ul>
#{empDeptVO.dept}
<c:ForEach items="empDeptVO.empVOList" var="empVO " >
<li>
<h:dataTable value="#{empVO.details}" var="details">
<t:column>
<f:facet name="header">Emp Name</f:facet>
<h:inputText value="#{details.name}"
</t:column>
</h:dataTable>
<h:dataTable value="#{empVO.experiences}" var="experience">
<t:column>
<f:facet name="header">Emp Experience</f:facet>
<h:inputText value="#{experience.value}"
</t:column>
</h:dataTable>
</li>
</<c:ForEach>
</ul>
</c:ForEach>
My backing bean currently has the getEmpDeptVOList() and the setEmpDeptVOList().
My first question is am I doing this right? What I would like to do is to be able to update each cell in the various data tables update independently using A4J and their respective value binding.
Any ideas how could I make this work using Seam?
