Subclassing rich:column

[johndoe123]

Hi,

I want to subclass rich:column in order to enhance it a bit and keep my markup DRY.

Unfortunatelly, only the header is rendered, but not the rows. Also, if I enclose a h:outputText inside my column Tag now, the values of the rows for that column are rendered, but within the tbody section and without any enclosing and tags.

What am I doing wrong? Please help!

This is my approach:

package de.tmg.akg.web.components;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.el.ValueExpression;
import javax.faces.component.html.HtmlOutputText;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;

import org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlColumn;

public class MyColumn extends HtmlColumn
{
 private String columnHeader;
 private String display;
 private HtmlOutputText content;

 public TmgColumn()
 {
 content = new HtmlOutputText();
 }

 @Override
 public String getFamily()
 {
 return "MyFamily";
 }

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

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

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


 /**
 * @return the display
 */
 public String getDisplay()
 {
 return display;
 }

 /**
 * @param display the display to set
 */
 public void setDisplay(String display)
 {
 this.display = display;
 if(content == null)
 {
 content = new HtmlOutputText();
 this.getChildren().add(content);
 }
 content.setValue(this.getValueExpression("display"));
 }
}

I repeat: This forum needs an edit function! How could I possibly know writing html tags will damage the post?
