So far I was able to register my own component and make it almost work. The problem I have now is that the table is not displayed correctly. The table borders are missing and I can not resize the columns or reorder them.
I use the component like this:
<cu:myDataTable
rowClasses="lighTableRow,darkTableRow"
value="#{overviewController.listOfData}" var="data" rows="11">
<rich:column sortBy="#{data.status}"
..
@FacesComponent(value = "myDataTable")
public class MyExtendedDataTable extends UIExtendedDataTable {
private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(MyExtendedDataTable.class);
public MyExtendedDataTable() {
super();
log.info("Created =========================================");
}
public static class ColumnIterator implements Iterator<UIComponent> {
private Iterator<UIComponent> columns;
int i=0;
public ColumnIterator(Iterator<UIComponent> columns) {
this.columns = columns;
}
@Override
public boolean hasNext() {
i++;
// just for testing
if (i > 4) {
return false;
}
return this.columns.hasNext();
}
@Override
public UIComponent next() {
return this.columns.next();
}
@Override
public void remove() {
this.columns.remove();
}
}
public Iterator<UIComponent> columns() {
Iterator<UIComponent> cols = super.columns();
return new ColumnIterator(cols);
}
}
