Adding checkboxes to a Table component

["Hendrickson, Jacob" <ja...@etrade.com>]

I'm just getting started with Tapestry, and I'm stuck on something that seems like it should be simple. I'm working on a page that will serve as an interface to a SOAP service (already deployed).

The idea is to first call a "browse" method, which returns a set of rows, and then allow selection of those rows via checkboxes, so that on a second submit I can call a "delete" method on the selected rows. So I have a form with 2 submit buttons, and 2 listener methods.

I could implement this using a basic HTML table, and a @Foreach to output the rows, but I'd like to use the contrib:Table component, because it provides paging and sorting.  

The "browse" method of the SOAP service returns an array of beans, and I've  set up a Table component that uses the array to populate the rows. But I haven't been able to add a column of checkboxes.

I tried copying some sample code which rendered one column using text input fields, with the field tied to one of the bean's properties. This is close to what I need to do --  the problem I've run into is that the bean class has no boolean property that can correspond to the checkbox input field.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

RE: Adding checkboxes to a Table component

You could always hide your bean behind a fascade object that does have a
boolean property, or you could create your own structure for keeping
track... The example table in the workbench local selector does this.
