Remove or update entity from a EntityHome.resultList

[erik.d.hellman]

Hi,

I'm generating a table with a list of entities. For each row (entity) I put the values in h:inputText and I then have two links (or buttons, tried both), one for updating the entity and one for removing it. Basically this:

<ui:repeat value="#{workShifts.resultList}" var="ws">
 <tr>
 <td><h:inputText value="#{ws.name}" /></td>
 <td><s:link action="#{workShiftHome.update}" value="Save" /></td>
 <td><s:link action="#{workShiftHome.remove}" value="Remove" /></td>
 </tr>
</ui:repeat>

I've tried setting a parameter for the s:link using f:param with the name workShiftId and value #{ws.id} and workShiftId declared in components.xml. Also, I tried using h:form and h:commandButton, without any success.

I've been looking through the examples and cannot find anything to demostrate how to display a lsit of entities and provide a save or remove button/link for each row.

Anyone know how to do this? Please help. :)

Thanks!

use h:dataTable and h:column

[erik.d.hellman]

You mean something like this?

<h:dataTable var="ws" value="#{workShifts.resultList}">
 <h:form>
 <h:column><h:inputText value="#{ws.name}"/></h:column>
 <h:column><h:commandLink action="#{workShiftHome.update}" value="Save"/></h:column>
 <h:column><h:commandLink action="#{workShiftHome.remove}" value="Remove"/></h:column>
 </h:form>
</h:dataTable>

I tried variations on that to with no success. Do you have an example of how it should look like?

Thanks,
Erik

You can override update()/delete() to accept an entity bean.

 @Override
 public String update(WorkShift workShift)
 {
 setInstance(workShift);
 return super.update();
 }

You will then have:

#{workShiftHome.update(ws)}
