navigationMenuItem inside a dataList

[Shasi Mitra]

Hi - My page has a dataList as given below

<t:dataList var="item" value="#{xmlModel.componentModel}" rowIndexVar="count">
<t:navigationMenuItem value="#{item}"></t:navigationMenuItem>
<t:outputText value=" » " escape="false" rendered="#{!((count + 1)==xmlModel.listSize)}"></t:outputText>
</t:dataList>
getComponentModel returns a list of NavigationMenuItems. So each item is nothing but a NavigationMenuItem. When the page is rendered, except the text in outputText nothing is rendered. I want to know how to get the navigationMenuItem displayed. I can see the dataList is iterating properly based on the size. Please help..

Either use t:navigationMenuItems instead of t:dataList, or access the NavigationMenuItem properties the usual javabean way. I.e. #{item.label} #{item.value} and so on (not sure if this approach works inside a t:dataList though, it's just pure theory, I have never used it).
