Tomahawk tag library 1.2.
Tag dataTable


The MyFacesDataTable extends the standard JSF DataTable by two important features:

Extended data_table that adds some additional features to the standard data_table action: see attribute descriptions for preserveDataModel, sortColumn, sortAscending and preserveSort.
Unless otherwise specified, all attributes accept static values or EL expressions.

Attributes
NameRequiredRequest-timeTypeDescription
firstfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to int)
The index of the first row to be displayed, where 0 is the first row.
rowsfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to int)
The number of rows to be displayed. Specify zero for all remaining rows in the table.
forceIdIndexFormulafalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)
A formula that overrides the default row index in the construction of table's body components. Example : #{myRowVar.key} Warning, the EL should evaluate to a unique value for each row !
sortColumnfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)
Value reference to a model property that gives the current sort column name. The target String property is set to the "columnName" of whichever column has been chosen to sort by, and the method which is bound to the "value" attribute of this table (ie which provides the DataModel used) is expected to use this property to determine how to sort the DataModel's contents.
sortAscendingfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to boolean)
Value reference to a model property that gives the current sort direction. The target Boolean property is set to true when the selected sortColumn should be sorted in ascending order, and false otherwise. The method which is bound to the "value" attribute of this table (ie which provides the DataModel used) is expected to use this property to determine how to sort the DataModel's contents.
sortablefalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to boolean)
Define if the table is sortable or not
embeddedfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to boolean)
Avoids rendering the html table tags, thus, giving you a table rendering just rows. You can use this together with the detailStamp faces of the parent datatable to render child-tables using the same layout as the parent. Notice: You have to ensure both tables do have the same number of columns. Using the colspan attribute of the column tag might help alot.
detailStampExpandedDefaultfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to boolean)
true|false - true if the detailStamp should be expanded by default. default: false
detailStampLocationfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)

newspaperColumnsfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to int)
The number of columns to wrap the table over. Default: 1 Set the number of columns the table will be divided over.
newspaperOrientationfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)
The orientation of the newspaper columns in the newspaper table - "horizontal" or "vertical". Default: vertical
preserveDataModelfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to boolean)
Indicates whether the state of the whole DataModel should be saved and restored. When set to false, the value-binding for the "value" attribute of this table is executed each time the page is rendered. When set to true, that value-binding is only executed when the component is first created, and the DataModel state is thereafter saved/restored automatically by the component. When column sorting is used for a table this property needs to be false so that the DataModel can be updated to reflect any changes in the sort criteria. Default: false
preserveSortfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to boolean)
Indicates whether the state of the sortColumn and sortAscending attribute should be saved and restored and written back to the model during the update model phase. Default: true
renderedIfEmptyfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to boolean)
Indicates whether this table should be rendered if the underlying DataModel is empty. You could as well use rendered="#{not empty bean.list}", but this one causes the getList method of your model bean beeing called up to five times per request, which is not optimal when the list is backed by a DB table. Using renderedIfEmpty="false" solves this problem, because the MyFaces extended HtmlDataTable automatically caches the DataModel and calles the model getter only once per request. Default: true
rowIndexVarfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)
A parameter name, under which the current rowIndex is set in request scope similar to the var parameter.
rowCountVarfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)
A parameter name, under which the rowCount is set in request scope similar to the var parameter.
previousRowDataVarfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)
A parameter name, under which the previous RowData Object is set in request scope similar to the rowIndexVar and rowCountVar parameters. Mind that the value of this request scope attribute is null in the first row or when isRowAvailable returns false for the previous row.
sortedColumnVarfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)
A parameter name, under which the a boolean is set in request scope similar to the var parameter. TRUE for the column that is currently sorted, FALSE otherwise.
alignfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)
HTML: Specifies the horizontal alignment of this element. Deprecated in HTML 4.01.
rowIdfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)

datafldfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)
Reserved for future use.
datasrcfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)
Reserved for future use.

(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)
Reserved for future use.
valueTypefalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)

enabledOnUserRolefalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)
If user is in given role, this component will be rendered normally. If not, no hyperlink is rendered but all nested tags (=body) are rendered.
visibleOnUserRolefalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)
If user is in given role, this component will be rendered normally. If not, nothing is rendered and the body of this tag will be skipped.
preserveRowStatesfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to boolean)
Indicates whether the state for each row should not be discarded before the datatable is rendered again. Setting this to true might be hepful if an input component inside the datatable has no valuebinding and the value entered in there should be displayed again. This will only work reliable if the datamodel of the datatable did not change either by sorting, removing or adding rows. Default: false
forceIdfalsefalsejava.lang.StringIf true, this component will force the use of the specified id when rendering.
forceIdIndexfalsefalsejava.lang.StringIf false, this component will not append a '[n]' suffix (where 'n' is the row index) to components that are contained within a "list." This value will be true by default and the value will be ignored if the value of forceId is false (or not specified.)
rowKeyfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)
Used to assign a value expression that identify in a unique way a row. This value will be used later instead of rowIndex as a key to be appended to the container client id using getDerivedSubClientId() method.
derivedRowKeyPrefixfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)
This attribute is used to append an unique prefix when rowKey is not used, to prevent a key match a existing component id (note two different components can't have the same unique id).

valuefalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to java.lang.Object)
An EL expression that specifies the data model that backs this table.

The value referenced by the EL expression can be of any type.

  • A value of type DataModel is used directly.
  • Array-like parameters of type array-of-Object, java.util.List, java.sql.ResultSet or javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.Result are wrapped in a corresponding DataModel that knows how to iterate over the elements.
  • Other values are wrapped in a DataModel as a single row.

Note in particular that unordered collections, eg Set are not supported. Therefore if the value expression references such an object then the table will be considered to contain just one element - the collection itself.

varfalsefalsejava.lang.StringDefines the name of the request-scope variable that will hold the current row during iteration.

During rendering of child components of this UIData, the variable with this name can be read to learn what the "rowData" object for the row currently being rendered is.

This value must be a static value, ie an EL expression is not permitted.

idfalsetruejava.lang.StringGet a string which uniquely identifies this UIComponent within the scope of the nearest ancestor NamingContainer component. The id is not necessarily unique across all components in the current view.
renderedfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to boolean)
A boolean value that indicates whether this component should be rendered. Default value: true.
bindingfalsefalsejavax.el.ValueExpression
(must evaluate to javax.faces.component.UIComponent)
Identifies a backing bean property (of type UIComponent or appropriate subclass) to bind to this component instance. This value must be an EL expression.
