problem creating HtmlEditor component dynamically

faupel Nov 25, 2011 4:39 AM

Hi,

I try to create a HtmlEditor component dynamically and get the following exception. Shouldn't HtmlEditor be casted to UIEditor or is there another possibility to create a richfaces editor component dynamically? Thank you in advance.

Maximilian

UIEditor editor = new HtmlEditor();
editor.setId(block.getKey());
editor.setValue(value);
panelGrid.getChildren().add(editor);

UIEditor editor = new HtmlEditor();
No! you have to use something like: FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createComponent(UIEditor.COMPONENT_TYPE) to create a new component. Creating a new object via calling the constructor isn't enough!

Please take a look into the Richfaces API / source. I'm not sure, if UIEditor is the correct class. I'd expect HtmlRichEditor or something like that.

Hello Christian,

I used org.richfaces.component.UIEditor because of the stack trace. When I create the component like that UIEditor editor = (UIEditor) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createComponent(UIEditor.COMPONENT_TYPE) the exception is still the same.

This works for me:

<rich:editor binding="#{demoManager.dynamicEditor()}"/>

@Override
public HtmlEditor dynamicEditor() {
    FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

    HtmlEditor component =
        (HtmlEditor) ctx.getApplication().createComponent(HtmlEditor.COMPONENT_TYPE);
    return component;
}

The only difference is that I bind the panel group and put the editor on it in java code. I also think that it should work, but it doesn't.

<h:panelGroup id="panelGroup" binding="#{groupBinding.htmlPanelGroup}" />
