Problem adding UICalendar programmatically

[scott.jones618]

Hello, using RichFaces 4.0.0, JSF 2.0, Facelets.

I'm adding form inputs to an HtmlPanelGrid and binding that to an h:panelGrid on my input form.  When I add a UICalendar to the form programmatically it shows up but it is always read only.

UICalendar input = new UICalendar();
input.setId(eachParam.getName());
input.setValue(eachParam.getValue());
input.setRequired(eachParam.isRequired());

htmlPanelGrid.getChildren().add(input);

I've even tried setting attributes like this to no avail:

input.getAttributes().put("readonly", false);
input.getAttributes().put("disabled", false);

When I add a rich:calendar tag in the xhtml file it shows up as editable as I would expect it to.

Another bit of weirdness is this: when I add the rich:calendar mark-up tag to the same form that I add the progammatic UICalendar, it magically makes the programmatic one editable as well.

Any ideas?

Anybody?

It appears the problem is due to RichFaces automagically importing numerous JavaScript libraries when I use the markup (<rich:calendar/>) but not when I add the calendar programmatically.

Hi Scott,

You should use application.createComponent(FacesContext, String, String) method to create component programmatically, not a pure 'new' operator - see JSF specification for more info.

Is this what you mean?

FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

Application application = facesContext.getApplication();

application.createComponent(facesContext, UICalendar.COMPONENT_TYPE, "org.richfaces.renderkit.html.CalenderRenderer");
