Display list of values horizontally using rich:dataList

[sd1]

Hi, I'm new to JSF. Please help me with the following. I need to display values horizontally when I select an activity from drop down. The list of values should display in a single row, and these values vary. I am getting the results vertically.

Here is the code:

<rich:dataList value="#{ActivitySummaryBean.Activities}" var="activity">

                                 <h:panelGroup>

                                        <h:outputText value="#{activity.lane}"></h:outputText>

                                 </h:panelGroup>

                            </rich:dataList>

I need to get the output as:(these values will increase or decrease according to the activity selected)

1  2  3  4  5 

But Im getting

1

2

3

4

5

I also tried

<ul>

    <ui:repeat items="#{ActivitySummaryBean.Activities}" var="activity">

        <li> <h:outputText value="#{activity.lane}"/></li>

    </ui:repeat>

</ul>  

but no luck

Thanks

your best easy bet is, concatenate the values as string in your managed bean- activity.lane

Use ui:repeat/a4j:repeat but without "<li>".

Look at this example: http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_list_test

Hi Aman,

Thanks for the reply. I have to display an image for each number displayed hirizontally.like..and vales(numbers) change(increase or decrease) depending on the activity selected from the dropdown

1          2           3

So I dont think Concatenation helps in this case, please let me know if im wrong.

I have also used

<h:dataTable id="dt2" value="#{ActivitySummaryBean.Activities}" var="activity"  >

    <h:column>

        <f:facet name="header">

        <h:outputText value=" Id" />

        </f:facet>

        <h:outputText value="#{activity.lane}"/>

    </h:column>

    <h:column>

        <h:graphicImage id="u-turn" value="../styles/icons/turn.gif" />

    </h:column>

</h:dataTable>

Using h:datatable, the values/images are displaying vertically like:

1 

2 

3 

Thanks

I tried without "<li>" , its still not working.

Please post the recent code with ui:repeat and result which is obtained in browser(html).

[sd1]

Here is the code,

<ui:repeat items="#{ActivitySummaryBean.Activities}" var="activity">

        <h:outputText value="#{activity.lane}"/>

    </ui:repeat>

webpage didnot display for this. it gave me http error.

[ilya40umov]

What kind of error?

[sd1]

This error (HTTP 500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server problem which prevented the webpage from displaying.

=) I meant this: Could you provide the full stack trace of the exception?

1) try a4j:repeat

2) probably you have old implementation of facelets. try facelets 1.1.15.B1

[sd1]

Hi I have used,

<a4j:repeat value="#{ActivitySummaryBean.Activities}" var="activity" >

                     <h:outputText  value="#{activity.lane}"></h:outputText>  

       </a4j:repeat>

i am not getting values in the page

[ilya40umov]

it's very strange.

1) Provide your JSF/RF/Facelets versions

2) What html code do you have in a browser for the following lines?

<a4j:repeat value="#{ActivitySummaryBean.Activities}" var="activity" >

                     <h:outputText  value="#{activity.lane}"></h:outputText> 

       </a4j:repeat>
