Improving selectManyCheckbox and selectOneRadio

[Jan Bols <ja...@ivpv.ugent.be>]

Using a selectManyCheckbox or selectOneRadio, you have limited control  
over the layout. You can only specify the items to be rendered in 1 row or  
in 1 column. A lot of times you want to specifiy in how many columns you  
want the items to be rendered.

I extended the x:selectManyCheckbox and x:selectOneRadio component by  
adding a columns attribute. This specifies how many columns are being used  
to render the selectItem objects inside it. It works together with the  
layout attribute. F.e. if layout is set to pageDirection and columns is  
set to 2, the items will be rendered in 2 columns starting at the first  
column from top to bottom and then at the second column from top to  
bottom. If layout is set to lineDirection and columns is set to 2, the  
items will be rendered in 2 columns starting at the first row from left to  
right and then the next row etc...

All components, tags and renderers are subclassed from the myfaces  
extensions ones and can be easily integrated.Because I think it can be of  
value to other people it might be usefull to integrate it in myfaces, but  
I don't know how to do this. Do I create a JIRA issue for this?

A jarfile can be downloaded from

Yes, I also recommend to send a mail to Jesse Alexander
for a write access and then dump the sources there.
But beware, there will be an official sandbox opened soon,
so expect to move things in a few weeks.

Hi,

Jesse created a new project in Sourceforge for this kind of
components, so we can try them and then decide whether they should
belong to MyFaces components:
