datatable sorting by rich:columns and subTables
alibsd Jun 9, 2009 1:34 PMHi,
I'm working on creating a master/detail table with subTables (details) and a column
with colspan equals to number of columns (master).
The problem I have is that I can't figure out how to do that with richfaces components.
Since I want to use rich:column's sorting feature, I this I have to use rich:column and its
corresponding attributes such as sortOrder and sortBy, but all examples I've seen
which have used subTables, draw table's header with header facet of rich:dataTable.
The closest solution which I've found until now is:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich" xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"> <body> <h:form> <rich:dataTable id="grid" rows="#{gridBean.pageSize}" value="#{gridBean.rows}" var="row"> <rich:column id="top" rendered="#{gridBean.inGroupingState}" colspan="#{gridBean.numCols}"> <h:outputText rendered="#{not row.collapsed}" value="#{row.title} (#{row.totalCount})" /> <a4j:commandLink id="openGrp" actionListener="#{row.openGroup}" rendered="#{row.collapsed}" reRender="grid" value="#{row.title} (#{row.totalCount})" /> <rich:spacer width="20px;" /> <a4j:commandLink actionListener="#{row.expand}" disabled="#{not (row.toIndex lt row.totalCount)}" reRender="grid" value="MORE" /> </rich:column> <rich:subTable id="sub" rendered="#{gridBean.inGroupingState}" value="#{row.members}" var="member"> <rich:columns index="index" id="column#{index}" sortBy="#{col}" sortOrder="#{gridBean.sortOrders[col]}" value="#{gridBean.columns}" var="col"> <f:facet name="header"> <h:outputText value="#{col}" /> </f:facet> <h:outputText value="#{member[col]}" /> </rich:columns> </rich:subTable> <f:facet name="footer"> <rich:datascroller id="scr" for="grid" /> </f:facet> </rich:dataTable> </h:form> </body> </html>
As you can guess, by this code, each subTable has its own header for sorting,
but I want to have SINGLE header for the hole table.
Sorry if my question is simple, but I would be so grateful if someone help me, and
tell me how can I do this.
