dynamic panelBarItem components?

[vc5]

hihi,

does anyone know how to create dynamic panelBarItems ?

i want my panelBarItems to be data-driven from a backing bean. i am using <a4j:repeat> to wrap around <rich:panelBarItem>... this works to generate the panelBarItems but it doesn't open when i click on them.

when i manually hard-code the panelBarItem everything works and the panels open when clicked on.

does anyone know how to do this?

thanks in advance!

you should use c:forEach instead of repeat.

hihi Ilya,

i tried your suggestion, but it doesn't seem to be repeating now.

i did the following:
- downloaded jstl.jar and standard.jar and placed them into WEB-INF/lib
- added the new xml namespace declaration along with the other ones in my tag like so:

xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"

- replace <a4j:repeat> with <c:forEach> like the following in my xhtml file:

<c:forEach var="record" items="${myBean.records}" varStatus="status">

i am new to RichFaces, so i am not sure if what i'm doing is correct... i didn't know it was possible to mix JSTL with JSF/RichFaces... are the two different EL notations interchangeable? do they understand each other? i.e. JSTL's "${}" and RichFace's "#{}"

thanks in advance!

should be

xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"
