Panel Grid custom component

Greetings again,

Instead of adding components by rendering the htl myself i am adding chilid
components and calling their encode methods as following:

public void encodeBegin( FacesContext context )
    {
        try
        {
            ResponseWriter writer = context.getResponseWriter();
            writer.writeComment("********************************* THIS IS
THE START OF COMPONENT **************************************************");

            HtmlPanelGrid panelGrid = new HtmlPanelGrid();
            panelGrid.setColumns(2);
            panelGrid.encodeChildren(context);

            addComponentBegin(context, "panelGridId", this, panelGrid);
            addComponentEnd(context, panelGrid);

            UIOutput labelName = new UIOutput();
            labelName.setValue("Enter name: ");
            addComponentBegin(context, "nameId", panelGrid, labelName);
            addComponentEnd(context, labelName);

            UIInput inputName = new UIInput();
            addComponentBegin(context, "inputNameId", panelGrid, inputName);
            addComponentEnd(context, inputName);

            UIOutput labelAge = new UIOutput();
            labelAge.setValue("Enter age: ");
            addComponentBegin(context, "ageId", panelGrid, labelAge);
            addComponentEnd(context, labelAge);

            UIInput inputAge = new UIInput();
            addComponentBegin(context, "inputAgeId", panelGrid, inputAge);
            addComponentEnd(context, inputAge);




            writer.writeComment("********************************* THIS IS
THE END OF COMPONENT **************************************************");
        }
        catch( IOException e )
        {

        }
    }

    public static void addComponentBegin( FacesContext context, String
componentId, UIComponent parentComponent, UIComponent childComponent )
throws IOException
    {
        if( componentId != null )
        {
            childComponent.setId( componentId );
        }

        childComponent.setParent( parentComponent );
        childComponent.encodeBegin( context );
    }

    public static void addComponentEnd( FacesContext context, UIComponent
childComponent ) throws IOException
    {
        childComponent.encodeEnd( context );
    }

My problem is that the layout of the panel grid (2 columns) that i have
added is not maintained and all encoded children get rendered ina straight
line quite like flowlayout in swing. can i use column wise layout without
having to encode the html myself ???

Thanx a lot,
Ali

That works with only HtmlPanelGrid as the base class and not with UIInput or
UIPanel.

But i was wondering whether i could exten my component from UIInput or

Re: Panel Grid custom component

Posted by Ali Raza <al...@gmail.com>.

Holas Volker,

Thanx a lot for your help. I saw the way u had done it and realized my
error. i was extending the component from UIPanel and then adding an Html
Panel Grid to it as a child which doesnt make sense to begin with. Although
even though what i was doing was wrong design wise .... it still shouldve
worked ... coz i hadnt overwritten either encodeChildren or encodeEnd.
Anyway thanx a lot dude ...

Ali

Re: Panel Grid custom component

Hi Ali,

UIPanel for base class should work, did you overwrite encodeChildren()
or encodeEnd() to do nothing?

BTW: don't expect these components between your rendered start and end
comments, they are just created here, the rendering is done in
encodeChildren() method of the superclass.

Just for make sure that my suggestions are correct i had implemented
this myself, extending HtmlPanelGrid.

See attached sources and working example at:

Re: Panel Grid custom component

Posted by Ali Raza <al...@gmail.com>.

Hey Volker,

I tried to add the components as you have instructed but nothing at all gets
rendered that way. i wonder if im inheriting my component from the right
base class .... UIPanel in my case ....
any how the code im trying now is:

    public void encodeBegin( FacesContext context )
    {
        try
        {
            ResponseWriter writer = context.getResponseWriter();
            writer.writeComment("********************************* THIS IS
THE START OF COMPONENT **************************************************");

            HtmlPanelGrid panelGrid = new HtmlPanelGrid();
            List children = panelGrid.getChildren();
            panelGrid.setColumns(2);

            UIOutput labelName = new UIOutput();
            labelName.setValue("Enter name: ");
            panelGrid.getChildren().add(labelName);

            UIInput inputName = new UIInput();
            children.add(inputName);

            UIOutput labelAge = new UIOutput();
            labelAge.setValue("Enter age: ");
            children.add(labelAge);

            UIInput inputAge = new UIInput();
            children.add(inputAge);

            this.getChildren().add(panelGrid);
            super.encodeBegin(context);

            writer.writeComment("********************************* THIS IS
THE END OF COMPONENT **************************************************");
        }
        catch( IOException e )
        {

        }
    }

Thanx a lot for your help though ...

Ali

"A sixteenth century inventor called Wan Hu designed a rocket-propelled
chair on which he planned to ascend into heaven. He built an open cabin, to
which he fitted 47 rockets underneath and above, and two kites to keep him
aloft. Wan Hu disappeared in flame and smoke and was never seen again. A
crater on the moon is now named after him, so in one sense he made it to the
heavens after all. This is the first recorded design of something
approximating to a manned space rocket."

The Chinese Space Programme.

Re: AW: AW: Panel Grid custom component

Posted by Mike Kienenberger <mk...@gmail.com>.

A facet is an arbitrary generic attribute (container, really) of a
component.   Just because one component supports a "header" facet
doesn't mean that another one will.   Each facet's meaning is unique
to each component, and the same facet name can mean different things
to different components.   Think of facets as component variable
names.
