Hi,
I have a rich:dataTable which I populate dynamically (both data and columns) in the following way:
<rich:dataTable id="dbcontent" rows = "30" binding="#{myDBTree.mytable}" value="#{myDBTree.data}"
var ="tuple"
onRowMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#F1F1F1'"
onRowMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#{a4jSkin.tableBackgroundColor}'">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Table Contents"/>
</f:facet>
</rich:dataTable>
In myDBTree Bean I have:
private HtmlDataTable mytable;
private ArrayList data;
public void createTable(){
data = loadData(); //I load this from a database or a file
for(int i =0; i < columns.size; i++){
String columnname = columns.get(i);
HtmlColumn myColumn = (HtmlColumn)application.createComponent(HtmlColumn.COMPONENT_TYPE);
HtmlOutputText text= (HtmlOutputText )
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().
getApplication().
createComponent(HtmlOutputText .COMPONENT_TYPE);
text.setValue(columnname);
myColumn.setWidth("100px");
myColumn.getFacets().put("header",text);
HtmlOutputText colvalue= (HtmlOutputText )
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createComponent(HtmlOutputText.COMPONENT_TYPE);
colvalue.setValueBinding("value", FacesContext.getCurrentInstance() .getApplication().createValueBinding("#{tuple.att}"));
myColumn.getChildren().add(colvalue);
mytable.getChildren().add(myColumn);
}
There might be a better way of doing this, but this works just fine for me.
The problem is that now I want to add a filtering to each of those dynamically generated columns and I have no idea how to do it. What I want is to be able to set properties filterBy and filterEvent. I tried the following but didn't work:
I guess I have to use myColumn.setFilterBy() and myColumn.setFilterEvent("onkeyup"), but I 'm not sure what do I have to pass to setFilterBy.
If somebody can help me I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
