Expression in columns property question
I want to use an expression in a column that includes a comma and can't for
the life of me figure out how to do it.
My first cut was the following:
<table jwcid='@contrib:FormTable'
source="ognl:patients"
value="ognl:currentPatient"
columns='Name:lastName + ", " +
firstName,Birthdate:dateOfBirth' />
It doesn't work because the columns property is split using a comma. This
makes a very unhappy Ognl parser... :)
My next attempt was
<table jwcid='@contrib:FormTable'
source="ognl:patients"
value="ognl:currentPatient"
columns='Name:lastName + ", " +
firstName,Birthdate:dateOfBirth' />
Which renders very nicely as
Hensley, Richard
Not very pretty, but getting closer.
My next attempt was
<table jwcid='@contrib:FormTable'
source="ognl:patients"
value="ognl:currentPatient"
columns='Name:lastName + comma +
firstName,Birthdate:dateOfBirth' />
With the following in the page specification
<property name="comma" value=", " />
But that rendered nothing, and gave me the following in the log.
Cannot use column expression 'lastName + comma + firstName' in row
Anybody got any suggestions?
I really thought the comma property was the ticket, but I don't think I'm
understanding the Ognl rendering context well enough yet.
I will keep playing with it.

I 'cheated' in this case and just added another getter getFullName for
that business object and assembled the name there, together with a
comma.

This is what I do
<span jwcid="@Conditional" condition="ognl:paymentsMade">
<table jwcid="table@Contrib:Table" class="results"
style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"
source="ognl:results"
columns="amount:Payment Amount:amount, from:From:payment.from,
to:To:payment.to"
/>
<span jwcid="amountColumnValue@Block"><div align="right"><span
jwcid="@Insert" value="ognl:components.table.tableRow.amount"
format="ognl:myFormat"/></div></span>
</span>
Replace the Insert value with what you want, in this case, "firstname,
lastname". I'd be interested if there's a better way to do this.
