Paging tag with facelets

[cremersstijn]

Hi Seam folks!

I'm trying to make a paging tag based on this blog

But i have tweaked the code a little. But i don't want to add the code snippet to all my pages, because it is a lot of code.

So i want to make a custom tag, something like:

<my:paging action="#{projectSearch.search}"/>

That action attribute must come to all the commandLinks actions on the in the paging code.

Is this possible?

<c:choose>
                
        <c:when test="#{page.simplePaging}">
                <div id="paging">

                <h:outputText 
                        value="Page #{page.pageIndex} of #{page.lastPageIndex} pages "
                        rendered="#{page.lastPageIndex > 1}"/>

                <c:forEach var="i" begin="1" end="#{page.lastPageIndex}">
                        <h:commandLink action="#{projectSearchAction.search}">
                     <h:outputText value="#{i}"/>
                     <f:param name="ps" value='#{ps != null ? ps : 0}'/>
                     <f:param name="pn" value="#{i}" />
                   </h:commandLink>
                   &#160;
                </c:forEach>
                
        </div>
        </c:when>
        

        <c:otherwise>
                <div id="paging">
                        <h:outputText 
                                value="Page #{page.pageIndex} of #{page.lastPageIndex} pages "
                                rendered="#{page.lastPageIndex > 1}"/>

                        <h:commandLink action="#{projectSearchAction.search}" rendered="#{page.pageIndex != 1}">
                                <h:outputText value="First"/>
                                <f:param name="ps" value='#{ps != null ? ps : 0}'/>
                                <f:param name="pn" value="1" />
                        </h:commandLink>
                        &#160;
                        <h:outputText value=" 1 " rendered="#{page.pageIndex == 1}"/>
                        
                        <h:commandLink action="#{projectSearchAction.search}" rendered="#{page.pageIndex != 1}">
                                <h:outputText value="Previous"/>
                                <f:param name="ps" value='#{ps != null ? ps : 0}'/>
                                <f:param name="pn" value="#{page.pageIndex - 1}" />
                        </h:commandLink>
                        &#160;
                        <h:outputText value=" ... " rendered="#{page.leftDots}"/>

                        <c:forEach 
                                var="i" 
                                begin="#{page.pageIndex - page.leftSteps}"
                                end="#{page.pageIndex - 1}">

                                <h:commandLink action="#{projectSearchAction.search}">
                                <h:outputText value="#{i}"/>
                                <f:param name="ps" value='#{ps != null ? ps : 0}'/>
                                <f:param name="pn" value="#{i}" />
                                </h:commandLink>
                                &#160;
                        </c:forEach>

                         <h:outputText 
                                value=" #{page.pageIndex} "
                                rendered="#{page.showPageIndex()}"/>

                        <c:forEach var="i" begin="#{page.pageIndex + 1}"
                                end="#{page.pageIndex + page.rightSteps}">
                                <h:commandLink action="#{projectSearchAction.search}">
                                <f:param name="ps" value='#{ps != null ? ps : 0}'/>
                                <f:param name="pn" value="#{i}" />
                                </h:commandLink>
                                &#160;
                        </c:forEach>

                        <h:outputText value=" ... " rendered="#{page.rightDots}"/>

                        <h:commandLink action="#{projectSearchAction.search}"
                                rendered="#{page.pageIndex != page.lastPageIndex}">
                                <h:outputText value="Next"/>
                                <f:param name="ps" value='#{ps != null ? ps : 0}'/>
                                <f:param name="pn" value="#{page.pageIndex + 1}" />
                        </h:commandLink>
                        
                        &#160;
                        
                        <h:commandLink action="#{projectSearchAction.search}"
                                rendered="#{page.pageIndex != page.lastPageIndex}">
                                <h:outputText value="Last"/>
                                <f:param name="ps" value='#{ps != null ? ps : 0}'/>
                                <f:param name="pn" value="#{page.lastPageIndex}" />
                        </h:commandLink>
                        
                        &#160;
                        
                        <h:outputText value=" #{page.lastPageIndex}"
                                rendered="#{page.pageIndex == page.lastPageIndex}"/>
                </div>
        </c:otherwise>
        
</c:choose>

I found it by myself again...

thanks to this forum post:FaceletsParamForActionMethod

This is my tag:

<msp:paging actionBean="#{projectSearchAction}" action="search"/>

and this my action on the commandLink :

#{actionBean[action]}
