Layouting with PanelGrid
hi, im quite new in java server faces and
i'm a little bit trapped in what i call the
panelgrid-layout-problem. because my project
can not and does not use jsp, i have to build
my form-layout programmatically. but how can i
get a proper layout with a colspan then ?
i think one thing, that could be very helpful
for me, would be a specialized PanelGrid that can be
build by a PanelGridBuilder parameterized
by a layout.
similar to what the forms-libary by karsten
letzsch (www.jgoodies.com) does for swing-panels.
but simpler, cut back to the possibilities of a
html-<table>-layout.
here an example:
FormLayout layout = new FormLayout(...);
DefaultFormBuilder builder = new DefaultFormBuilder(layout);
builder.setDefaultDialogBorder();
builder.appendSeparator(Segment);
builder.append(Identifier, idField, 2); //spans 2 main-columns
builder.nextLine();
builder.append(PTI [kW], ptiField);
builder.append(Power [kW], powerField);
builder.append(len [mm], lenField);
builder.nextLine();
builder.appendSeparator(Diameters);
builder.append(da [mm], daField);
builder.append(di [mm], diField);
builder.append(da2 [mm], da2Field);
ExtendedPanelGrid panelGrid = builder.getPanelGrid();
how about that kind of thing ? any other
sugestions ?
regards fanny

For any HTML output that you don't want to bother creating components
for, you can literally define it using either UIOutputs with
escape="false" (that's what a <f:verbatim /> is), or you can access
the ResponseWriter directly and use it.

Have you looked at the component-binding feature?
with binding="#{xbackingBean.ycomponent}"
you can deliver a programmatically defined grid to your jsp - a small
jsp wrapper around it, and the thing is done...
For things like colspan you will need to extend the current grid and
write a custom component/renderer, as it does not have this ability
right now.

Martin

Re: Layouting with PanelGrid
Posted by Fanny Aenvie <Fa...@gmx.de>.
stupid idea or poor description of what i want ?
see at hans bergstens jsf-book and his article
"Improving JSF by Dumping JSP". in the book there
are examples of using jsf without jsp. my idea is
based on this but goes a step further.
we have a running impementation of this
using RI but want to change to myfaces.
i wanted to check it out a little bit first.
so i have run the newsservice-example from
the jsf-book with myfaces. it uses a custom ViewHandler
(ClassViewHandler) and a View called SubscribeView.
this is really a nice proof of myfaces because
good jsf-implementations are not jsp- or html-
centistic.
i had to make changes to get it to run with myfaces
(cvs 08.03.2005).
*problem 1*
ClassCastException in class HtmlFormRendererBase line 85
maybe this is a bug in myfaces. i changed the cast
from
>> UIForm htmlForm = (HtmlForm)component;
to
>> UIForm htmlForm = (UIForm)component;
*problem 2*
SubscribeView line 42 attribut colums for
UIPanel must be Integer instead of String.
change line 42.
from
>> grid.getAttributes().put("columns", "2");
to
>> grid.getAttributes().put("columns", new Integer(2));
*problem 3*
it produces a mimetype text/xml but i want
text/xml. how to force that ?
*problem 4*
the output has no frameing-tags (html, head, body). must
implement and register a Rendering for UIViewRoot ?
any better idea ?
