Requirement: I have a header, body,footer. In my header I have a menu, and on click of that menu I should show a page related to that menuitem without refreshing the complete page.

use

<a:outputPanel layout="block" id="body">

<ui:include src=#{controller.currentPage}/>

</a:outputPanel>

change include then as needed in action and render the outputPanel with new include.

Hi,

RichFaces 4 has drop down menu, use it in ajax mode.

Hi Ilya Shaikovsky,

   If I keep on including the pages will it not effect the performance of the application. And more over my beans should be in keepalive state and I manually clear those beans from the map which I am not interested in it.

Thanks

Hi Nick,

    I tried with Dropdownmenu using binding. Its not working and giving a javascript error "Richfaces not found". And my menu is not showing the menuitems.

Please help me.

Code snippet:

UIDropDownMenu dropDownMenu = null;

  for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {

          dropDownMenu = new UIDropDownMenu();

          dropDownMenu.setStyle("border:1px solid");

          dropDownMenu.setMode(Mode.client);

          dropDownMenu.setJointPoint(Positioning.topRight);

          dropDownMenu.setDirection(Positioning.bottomRight);

        HtmlOutputText htmlOutputText = new HtmlOutputText();

        htmlOutputText.setValue("File"+i);

        dropDownMenu.getFacets().put("label", htmlOutputText);

        UIMenuItem uiMenuItem = null;

           for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++) {

              uiMenuItem = new UIMenuItem();

              uiMenuItem.setLabel("menu"+j);

               dropDownMenu.getChildren().add(uiMenuItem);   }

     this.getUiToolbar().getChildren().add(dropDownMenu);

  }

Xhtml code :

<rich:toolbar binding="#{menuNavigationBean.uiToolbar}">
  </rich:toolbar>

Thanks

     At first using Nick's suggestion you still have to render construct the body part from the menu. And really two ways there to construct it from java code (I do not think convinient/maintainable) or to use the same dynamic includes.

     As for the problem with menu construction - http://community.jboss.org/message/594045#594045

Thanks Ilya Shaikovsky

It solved the problem.But I don't think thats a nice solution. I got the same prob with tab panel also.

I tried the same solution by adding a tab with rendered false. In this case it didnt worked.

What am suppose to do?

Thanks

actually should works. doublecheck that resources getting prerendered succesfully using firebug Net console.

About issues in general - should be adressed to JSF guys..
