Header and Footer: Not in the first page!

[luxspes]

Hi!

From Seam documentation:

The p:header and p:footer components provide the ability to place header and
footer text on each page of a generated document, with the exception of the first
page.

Why with the exception of the first
page? How can I overcome this limitation?

Regards,

Hi.

To me, my header and footer are present in all my pages. I have no limitation !

Same here.  The itext example app has pdfs with page numbering starting from the beginning.  Maybe the poster is using a really old version of Seam?

Hi!

I am using Seam 2.2SP1, and I see the header or footer but if I try to configure them both, one of them disappears...

Any hints?

Thanks,
Regards,

P.D. If this limitation is for a very old version of Seam (and it is only a coincidence that it is failing for me), maybe you should submit a documentation bug in JIRA?

Try this...

<f:facet name="header">
    <p:font size="14">
        <p:header borderWidthTop="0" borderWidthBottom="0.4" alignment="left"><p:paragraph><p:html>
            HTML work in Headers but not in Footers
        </p:html>
        </p:paragraph>
        </p:header>
        <p:footer borderWidthTop=".4" borderWidthBottom="0" alignment="left">Request Liste - Seite [<p:pageNumber/>]</p:footer>
    </p:font>
</f:facet>

Header and Footer starting from the first page. With HTML you can put images in the header!

Well, I use 2.02SP1, too. And if I use the p:footer tag, it doesn't display it on the first page. The limitation is unnecesary. And I had a quick look at iText. It doesn't seem as it is an iText limitation.

I want to use the PDF-feature to create orders and invoices. There has to be the same footer on every page.

The limitation makes sense, if you want to print books etc....

P.S.: I tried it with footer. No header the same time

Revision: SEAM 2.0.1.GA

Notes:

  1. The header facet must be at the root of the document.

  2. My experience is that the header example above did not render. When I removed the p:html tags then the header was rendered on all pages.

Submitted JBSEAM-3605

Mmm, I haven't downloaded JBoss Seam 2.1.0.CR1 but the limitation seems to be there too:

The p:header and p:footer components provide the ability to place header and footer text on each page of a generated document, with the exception of the first page.

Please post a full xhtml file you think is not working correctly.  Headers and footers work correctly on all pages.  I'm sorry for any documentation errors.  I'll fix them now.
