Contrib:Table column header
I have a Contrib:Table that is using SimpleTableModel to construct column headers and rest of
the table data. I have a column header that says "Last Name", however, I would like it to do
something like "Last<br>Name" where Last and Name are on separate lines in the same header cell.
However, the table column renderer doesn't handle raw HTML it seems. Any ideas how to accomplish
the above rendering ? I'd hate to use ForEach for such a small issue.
Thanks,
Jeevan

Hi,
Thanks for looking into this problem.
It seems you were the original creator of the Table and related components so just curious if
you were looking into making the default implementation accept raw HTML as the columns' display
names (in addition to the plain text it accepts now) since this would allow easy formatting of the
way the columns appear ?
Thanks,
Jeevan

Hi,
This is easily done, but the preferred implementation depends on whether
you use 2.3 or 2.4/3.0.
With 2.3:
Create your own column by extending SimpleTableColumn and overriding
getColumnRenderer() to make it return your own component that will adjust
the appearance of the column titles the way you want them. See
SimpleTableColumn's implementation in
net.sf.tapestry.contrib.table.model.simple as an example.
With 2.4/3.0:
Apply setColumnRendererSource(new ComponentTableRendererSource(<your
component>)) to your column (usually after it is created). You can create a
component that renders the column by implementing ITableRendererListener (so
that it can be initialized). For examples have a look at
org.apache.tapestry.contrib.table.components.inserted.
We use custom column renderers in all our products, which allows us to
control all aspects of how the column headers should look like, not only the
appearance of the text.
In general, however, it may be a good idea to have a way to make the
default implementation accept raw HTML as the columns' display names (in
addition to the plain text it accepts now). This would allow easy formatting
of the way the columns appear, e.g. in the way you've described.
Best regards,
-mb
