Dynamic Menus in Richfaces 4

[rajkumarsrikanth]

Currently we are working on the migration of Richfaces 3 to Richfaces 4.

Our project comprises of Spring MVC + Spring Webflow + JSF 2 + Richfaces 4.

We have used Richfaces version 4.1.0.Final in our project.

We are building the menus dynamically from the database and it is bound to the richfaces toolbar.

@Service
public



public UIToolbar getMenuToolbar() {
if(menuToolbar == null) {
menuToolbar = new UIToolbar();
UIDropDownMenu downMenu;
downMenu = 
new UIDropDownMenu();UIOutput output = 
new UIOutput();output.setValue(
"File");downMenu.getFacets().put(
"label", output);
UIMenuGroup menuGroup;
menuGroup = 
new UIMenuGroup();menuGroup.setLabel(
"Save Group");
UIMenuItem item;
item = 
new UIMenuItem();item.setLabel(
"Save");menuGroup.getChildren().add(item);

item = 
new UIMenuItem();item.setLabel(
"Save All");menuGroup.getChildren().add(item);

downMenu.getChildren().add(menuGroup);


menuToolbar.getChildren().add(downMenu);}

return menuToolbar;}


public void setMenuToolbar(UIToolbar menuToolbar) {
this.menuToolbar = menuToolbar;}
}
 class UserService {

private UIToolbar menuToolbar;

The menu is rendered to the HTML, but the java script and CSS files associated with menus are not rendered to the HTML. Hence the menu appears simply like text.

I have attached the menu layout screen shot.

Thanks in advance

Try to put

	<rich:toolbar rendered="false"/>
	<rich:dropDownMenu rendered="false"/>
	<rich:menuGroup rendered="false"/>
	<rich:menuItem rendered="false"/>
	<rich:toolbar binding="#{menu.toolBar}" height="26px"/>

In your facelet. It's a workaround to load css/js.
