[jira] Closed: (MYFACES-781) UIData accesses its grandchild components directly
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-781?page=all ]

Resolution: Won't Fix

> For an HTML table, much of the decoding process is controlled by the components rather than the renderer.
> In the class javax.faces.component.UIData, method "processColumnChildren" (which is called by processDecodes) does this:
> for (Iterator it = getChildren().iterator(); it.hasNext();)
> {
> UIComponent child = (UIComponent) it.next();
> if (child instanceof UIColumn)
> {
> if (!child.isRendered())
> {
> //Column is not visible
> continue;
> }
> for (Iterator columnChildIter = child.getChildren()
> .iterator(); columnChildIter.hasNext();)
> {
> UIComponent columnChild = (UIComponent) columnChildIter
> .next();
> process(context, columnChild, processAction);
> }
> }
> }
> And that last call to process them calls component.processDecodes, which delegates to the renderer as needed.
> However this code means UIData is accessing its *grandchildren* directly, rather than just its children. I don't believe this is very nice OO design; UIData's children should be responsible for managing their own children, ie the UIColumn class should be told to process the children rather than calling getChildren on it and manipulating those directly.
> It also makes it impossible for a custom UIColumn class to receive decode calls; they go direct to the custom column's children.
