T5 Grid Component for composite entities

[Daniel Jue <te...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I'm not sure if this kind of functionality is available with the
current grid component, but this is a simple example of what I want to
do:

Lets say I have a User class and an Address class.

Lets say a User has an Address object in it.

Now I have a list of Users that I want to pump into a Grid Component,
as seen on the T5 screen cast.

At the moment, the grid component seems to skip over any user-defined
types (acting as though I had the @NonVisual annotation)

I was hoping for a way to override the cell for the UDT (Address in
this case), but it does not seem to work, not even when I try to
override it with static content, like "blah", i.e.

<t:parameter name="addressCell">
blah
</t:parameter>


Has anyone created this kind of wheel yet? ;-)  Or is there something
analogous with Bean Edit Form available?  (I don't need to edit
anything at the moment, I just want to see if I can display it)

Thanks list,

Daniel

On workaround would be to write synthetic accessor methods in the User
class for the Address properties you would like to see; e.g.,

pubic String getStreetAddress ()
{
   return this.address.getStreetAddress();
}
