Input in a Nested table

[J Haley]

I�ve got a problem with a input field in a nested dataTable. The table displays fine when its built, but there is a problem when the retrieving the entered the input #{task.value}. Any idea what I�m missing?

public class HHG implements Serializable {
  private Service[] services;
}
 
public class Service implements Serializable{
  private Task[] allegiantTasks;
}
 
public class AllegiantTask {
  private String name;
  private String category;
  private String value;
}
 
<h  :mrgreen:  ataTable border="1" value="#{hhg.profile.services}" var="service">
  <h:column>
    <h  :-P	  anelGroup>
      <h  :-o	  utputText value="#{service.name}"></h  :-o	  utputText>
    </h  :-P	  anelGroup>
  </h:column>
  <h:column>
    <h  :mrgreen:  ataTable value="#{service.tasks}" var="task">
      <h:column>
        <h  :-o	  utputText value="#{task.name}"></h  :-o	  utputText>
      </h:column>
      <h:column>
        <h:inputText value="#{task.value}"></h:inputText>
      </h:column>
    </h  :mrgreen:  ataTable>
  </h:column>
</h  :mrgreen:  ataTable>

I discovered that the generated ids for the nested <h:input> are not unique. Is there a way that I build my own ids? I tried using id="#{someVar}", but this was not valid syntax.

What version and implementation of JSF are you using ?

However for the time being you can use this below.

public class AllegiantTask {
  private String name;
  private String category;
  private String value;
// Adding a new field to set the rowID of the currently accessed row.
  private Integer rowId;
 
   // the row id value should be incremented for every new "Task" being generated at the "Service".
 
  public void setRowId(Integer int)
{
}
  
  public Integer getRowId()
{
return rowId;
}
}

In your JSF code,

    
  
<h:inputText value="#{task.value}" id="taskValue_#{task.rowId}></h:inputText>
 
For various input fields, you need to have different prefixes which guarantee the unique id's. 
 

This code is to give you a general Idea of how to implement. This code has not been tested
