Touchfaces: dynamic count of table groups

[rosemeyer2]

I am aware of the odds and ends with jsf and repeating tags as c:forEach or ui:repeat, but as a datatable doesn't work with touchfaces (ot pretty), I would like to find a way, to dynamically create rowGroup and rowItems.

My bean provides a map which has a String key and a list value. For each of these lists a rowGroup should be created and the items of the list should be rendered as tableItems. The key goes into the rowGroup name. I tried with forEach and ui:repeat, but it doesn't work out:

Code: Select all

                 <i:view id="aview" title="A View">
			<f:facet name="leftNavBar">
				<i:navBarControl label="Home" view="home" />
			</f:facet>
			<h:form prependId="false">
				<i:tableView id="aTable" display="group">
					<ui:repeat value="#{myBean.groups}" var="group">
						<i:rowGroup title="#{group.key">
							<ui:repeat var="aItem" value="#{group.value}">
								<i:rowItem>
									<h:outputText value="#{aItem.name}" />
								</i:rowItem>
							</ui:repeat>
						</i:rowGroup>
					</ui:repeat>
				</i:tableView>
			</h:form>
		</i:view>

I've done almost the same thing in news touchfaces app;

http://code.google.com/p/primefaces/sou ... news.xhtml

See the ui:repeate usage there. Are you sure the groups are populated, also I've seen a typo at <i:rowGroup title="#{group.key">.

This typo was just in the forum entry, but not in the code. Your news example is based on a list and is just iterating over a list. This works for me, too. But iterations over groups and items do not work.

Any chance to get this working?

Hi, can you provide the java code for myBean as well.

xhtml fragment:

Code: Select all

<i:tableView id="tickerTable" display="group">
					<ui:repeat value="#{tickerBean.gameGroups}" var="group">
						<i:rowGroup title="TEST">
							<ui:repeat var="spiel" value="#{group.value}">
								<i:rowItem>
									<h:outputText value="#{spiel.heimKurz}" /> -
									<h:outputText value="#{spiel.gastKurz}" />
									<h:outputText value=" " />
									<h:outputText value="#{spiel.spielErgebnis}" />
									<h:outputText value=" " />
									<h:outputText value="#{spiel.drittelErgebnis}" />
								</i:rowItem>
							</ui:repeat>
						</i:rowGroup>
					</ui:repeat>
				</i:tableView>

Bean:

Code: Select all

package hockey.controller.bean;

import hockey.bean.SpielBean;
import hockey.db.HockeyRepository;

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

import javax.faces.event.ActionEvent;

public class CopyOfTickerBean {
	
	private Map<String, List<SpielBean>> gameGroups = new HashMap<String, List<SpielBean>>();

	public void clickTicker(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
            HockeyRepository rep = HockeyRepository.getInstance();
            Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
            
            // Create gameGroup map
            this.gameGroups = rep.getGroups(cal);
	}

	public Map<String, List<SpielBean>> getGameGroups() {
		return gameGroups;
	}

	public void setGameGroups(Map<String, List<SpielBean>> gameGroups) {
		this.gameGroups = gameGroups;
	}
}

Any news on that?

I think using two inner ui:repeats is the problem. Have you tried with c:forEach(s)?

[rosemeyer2]

Yes, I tried c:forEach first, because intentionally I didn't include facelets. Was not working either.
