Dynamic DataTable are not Sortable

[christophe.noel]

Hi,

I'm using Richfaces 4.3.0RC1

The only solution to create a dynamic datatable (with a variable number of columns, as with <rich:columns> in RF 3.3.3) consists in using JSTL <c:forEach>.

(columns no more exist,  ui:repeat no yet works for tables)

In that case, sorting is not working (both with dataTable and extendedDatatable built-in OR usual sorting method).

Just for illustrating, I'm copying my code here below.

Is there an alternative ? When is planned the columns or repeat support ?

Thanks a lot

<rich:extendedDataTable id="dataTable#{popId}"
                                                                      styleClass="fullWidthTable" var="record" selectionMode="none"
                                                                      value="#{viewer.getDataOperation.response.records}"
                                                                      rendered="#{(viewer.views[viewer.selectedView].type eq 'TABLE')}"
                                                                      rows="8">
                                                                      <c:forEach items="#{viewer.getDataOperation.response.fields}"
                                                                                var="fieldName">
                                                                                <rich:column sortBy="#{record[response.getId(fieldName)]}">
                                                                                          <f:facet name="header">
                                                                                                    <h:outputText value="#{fieldName}" />
                                                                                          </f:facet>
                                                                                          <h:outputText value="#{record[response.getId(fieldName)]}" />
                                                                                </rich:column>
                                                                      </c:forEach>
                                                            </rich:extendedDataTable>

you have created datatable data in setter & getter methods. Get the dataTable outside of setter & getter methods

like

in .xhtml

<rich:extendedDataTable id="#{dataTable.popId}" var=record>

     <rich:column sortBy="#{ record.Id}">

     <f:facet name="header">
      <h:outputText value="Id" />
       </f:facet>
      <h:outputText value="#{record.Id}" />

     </rich:column>

</rich:extendedDataTable>

In Bean

public List<popIddata> popId= new ArrayList<popIdtdata>();

public List<PopIddata> getPopId() {

        return popId;

    }

    public void setPopId(List<PopIddata> popId) {

        this.popId = popId;

    }

public String gettingData(){

popId.add(new popIddata("","","",))

}

Call gettingData() where ever data you need.

Hi Suresh,

This could be the problem, but records is populated outside the getters / setters.

public List<ArrayList<String>> getRecords() {
                    return records;
          }


          public void setRecords(List<ArrayList<String>> records) {
                    this.records = records;
          }

public DataResponse(
                              GetDataResponseMessageDocument getDataResponseMessageDocument)
                              throws Exception {
                    setXmlResponse(getDataResponseMessageDocument);
                    this.parse(); // here !!
          }

Thanks a lot for your help.

Please Remove c:froEach Tag and then try.

Still if you are facing same problem, share your code again .xhtml files

As I said in my initial post, "c:forEach" causes the problem. But this is currently the only way to create dynamic tables.
