Problem with attributes

[johndoe123]

Hello,

I want to subclass the org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlColumn class and have been trying in vain for a long time now to resolve the following error:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to convert string "false" to class "javax.el.ValueExpression" for attribute "sortable": Property Editor not registered with the PropertyEditorManager

I dunno what I am doing wrong. Would someone please be so kind and take a look at my code_
?

package web.ui.tags;

import javax.el.ValueExpression;
import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;

Tag class:

public class MyColumnTag extends org.richfaces.taglib.ColumnTag
{

 public MyColumnTag()
 {
 super();
 }

 @Override
 public String getComponentType()
 {
 return "MyColumn";
 }

 @Override
 public String getRendererType()
 {
 return null;
 }

 public void release()
 {
 super.release();
 }

 public void setSortable(ValueExpression sortable)
 {
 super.setSortable(sortable);
 }

 protected void setProperties(UIComponent component)
 {
 super.setProperties(component);
 }

}

Component class:

package web.ui;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;

public class MyColumn extends org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlColumn
{

 public void encodeBegin(FacesContext context) throws IOException
 {
 super.encodeBegin(context);
 }

 public void encodeEnd(FacesContext context, UIComponent comp) throws IOException
 {
 super.encodeEnd(context);
 }
}

tld:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<taglib version="2.1" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-jsptaglibrary_2_1.xsd">
 <tlib-version>1.0</tlib-version>
 <short-name>mycomponents</short-name>
 <uri>http://myuri</uri>
 <tag>
 <name>MyDataGrid</name>
 <tag-class>ui.tags.MyDataGridTag</tag-class>
 <body-content>JSP</body-content>
 </tag>
 <tag>
 <name>MyColumn</name>
 <tag-class>ui.tags.MyColumnTag</tag-class>
 <body-content>JSP</body-content>
 <attribute>
 <name>sortable</name>
 <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
 </attribute>
 </tag>
</taglib>

Since I subclass the ColumnTag shouldn't it just be sufficient to adjust the tld file? What causes this error?

Please lead me towards the right direction.

Hi,

Take a look:

<attribute>
 <description>If "true", rendered is disabled. In
 "popup" mode both controls are disabled. Default value is "false".</description>
 <name>disabled</name>
 <deferred-value>
 <type>boolean</type>
 </deferred-value>
 </attribute>

Thank you very much, that worked!

I think from I can figure the other attributes out myself.

You saved my day!
