Hi anyone, i new in richfaces

Any body help me,

This is my code,

<rich:dropDownMenu submitMode="none" value="Collateral Catalog">
  <ui:repeat value="#{productCategoryList.GetProductName()}"
                       var="newsItem">
     <rich:menuItem>
        <h:outputText value="#{newsItem.productCategoryName}"/>
     </rich:menuItem>
   </ui:repeat>
</rich:dropDownMenu>

This code is not working,Any problem in this code

I think, that what you are doing there is a misunderstood approach.

Ui:repeat is something like a datatable for a dynamic rerendering of single rows.

I think you have to create/manipulate the component in your bean, if you need the dynamic aspect.

Try with c:forEach tag. In this case, neither ui:repeat nor a4j:repeat would work because rich:dropDownMenu is expecting a menuItem, and repeat tags iterate, but don´t provide that.

For instance:

  <rich:dropDownMenu event="onclick">
     <f:facet name="label">
           <h:outputText value="Categories" />
       </f:facet>
     <c:forEach var="item" items="#{dropDownMenuBean.items}">
        <rich:menuItem submitMode="ajax" value="#{item}" />
     </c:forEach>
   </rich:dropDownMenu>

And this is the code for dropDownMenuBean:

   public class DropDownMenuBean {
 
   private String [] menu = new String[]{"Category 1", "Category 2", "Category 3"};
 
   public String[] getItems() {
     return menu;
   }
 
   public DropDownMenuBean() {}
}
