MyFaces displayValueOnly from Java does not work

[A. Dusi]

I am trying to set the displayValueOnly property to true for a textarea component in the backing bean Java code. But it does not work. The widget is still displayed. The same works when I give t:inputTextArea directly in the JSP. All the components that I am creating in the backing bean are from org.apache.myfaces.component.html.ext package. Is this the correct package to use the displayValueOnly?
I need to create components in the backing bean since I do not know the number of components until run time.
The textarea is embedded in a panelGrid which is also from the same package.

Experts, please advise.

Hi,

Can you provide code snipplet


This is how i have creating component in runtime.


HtmlInputText component = (HtmlInputText) application.createComponent((HtmlInputText.COMPONENT_TYPE));
component.setId(paramName);

htmlPanelGroup.getChildren().add(component);

By the way .. What's in your opinion the difference between:

HtmlInputText component = (HtmlInputText) application.createComponent((HtmlInputText.COMPONENT_TYPE));
component.setId(paramName);
 
htmlPanelGroup.getChildren().add(component);

and

HtmlInputText component = new HtmlInputText();
component.setId(paramName);
 
htmlPanelGroup.getChildren().add(component);

I could not know the difference. When I tried, both approaches seemed to create the component. Could you please explain how one should decide upon choosing an approach to creating the components given a situation.
But in either of the approaches, the displayValueOnly is still not working.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dusi,

were you able to solve your issue?
I'm having the same problem here.
I just posted a bug to Apache because I cannot
see any way to get this working.
