How to layout the page with commandLink?
Hi, I have a very simple question since it is my first time to use Trinidad
components.
I would like to have a <tr:commandLink> and other text messages to appear on
the same line of a page. I use the following:
<tr:panelPage>
<p>Please login <tr:commandLink text="here" action="login" />.</p>
</tr:panelPage>
However, the effect of this is that the link appear on the second line which
looks very odd. Could anybody help to fix this? Thanks.
Best Regards,
Henry Chang

Henry,
The .jspx extension is used to indicate that file is a JSP XML file as
opposed to a plain JSP file. XML files can be validated against a
schema definition and IDEs can show errors and do tag completion on
them. Because of that I think that .jspx are a better choice than
.jsp
You can't mix HTML tags and JSF tags without surrounding the HTML with
special JSF tags such as <f:verbatim> because the tags are processed
during different phases of the JSF lifecycle.
You can put long text messages in an outputText tag by putting the
message in a message bundle and then referencing the bundle in the
page with a <f:loadBundle
basename="com.yourcompany.resources.messages" var="bundle"/> tag in
your page and a outputText tag that references the bundle with the EL
expression: "#{bundle.yourMessageKey}". This enables you to put your
messages in one location where they can be spell-checked and be
available for localization . You can also use HTML markup in your
messages too. You just have to use the escape="true" attribute in the
outputText tag.

Hi Richard,
Surrounding the text with a <tr:panelGroupLayout> works just fine. Thank you
very much. I have tried the <nobr> and it does not work.
By the way, what's the difference between .jspx and .jsp extensions? Which
one is better?
Also, if I do not just put text in the page but rather put them inside
<tr:outputText> component, how could I do that if the texts are very long
like a paragraph? It would look very cumbersome to put a long paragraph
inside the value attribute of the <tr:outputText> component.
Best Regards,
Henry Chang

Are you using the .jspx or .jsp extension to your page?
Try this:
<tr:panelPage>
<tr:panelGroupLayout>
<tr:outputText escape="false" value="Please login
"/><tr:commandLink text=" here" action="login" />
<tr:outputText value="."/>
</tr:panelGroupLayout>
</tr:panelPage>
It works in my .jspx page
I don't think that you can have text in your page that aren't in a jsf
tag b/c of the difference in when the tags are evaluated from when the
page is evaluated.

This behavior is probably due to the nature of your page. Other elements
also want space so the text is being wrapped.
Have you tried <nobr> tag?
<tr:panelPage>
<p><nobr>Please login <tr:commandLink text="here" action="login"
/>.</nobr<</p>
</tr:panelPage>
Guy.
