Hello,
I have a problem concerning the filtering of rich:dataTable/column. I am not using the built-in filteredBy, but instead I use external filtering in a Bean via the filterMethod.
(Using RF 3.3.2)
my ColumnComposition:
Explanation: Each table has its own sortBean and filterBean and gets it from a Hashmap in a SessionBean.
testBean is a managedBean (Scope: session)
sortMap is a HashMap (key=tableId, value=sortBean)
filterMap is a HashMap (key=tableId, value=filterBean)
tableId is set via <c:set var="tableId" value="#{id}"/> (could use id instead, since it is passed by the table-attribute id)
<ui:composition>
<rich:column sortOrder="#{testBean['sortMap'][tableId].sortOrder}"
selfSorted="#{false}"
filterMethod="#{testBean['filterMap'][tableId].filterMethod}"
filterEvent="onkeyup"
id="#{colId}"
sortBy="#{sortValue}">
<f:facet name="header">
<t:panelGrid columns="1">
<t:outputText value="Title"/>
<t:inputText value="..." />
</t:panelGrid>
</f:facet>
<ui:insert/>
</rich:column>
</ui:composition>
Now the following happens when the view is rendered:
javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException - Target Unreachable, 'null' returned null
If I replace [tableId] with ['userTable'] in the FilterMethod, assuming my table has the id="userTable", then everything works as it should.
Now my question is: why can I use the context-variable tableId in my sortOrder-attribute, but why does it resolve to null when used in the filterMethod-EL?
I assume that there might be a bug behind this. ManagedBeans and Strings work fine in "filterMethod", but view-scoped-variables dont work (resolve to null).
Thanks in advance,
sebastian
