Doubt in f:facet tag.. Please help me ..

[Jessica James]

Hi Friends,

I couldnt resolve the following problem..
In my screen I have 8 columns.. I have to provide sorting facility for some of the column, which is going to be set dynamically..
I have written my code like this:

  <h:column rendered="#{RecordListController.recordListBean.flag1}">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:commandLink 
rendered="#{RecordListController.recordListBean.sortFlag1}"
actionListener="#{RecordListController.processAction}"
id="cmdSort1">
<h:outputText 
value="#{RecordListController.recordListBean.headerDesc1}"/>
</h:commandLink>
<h:outputText 
rendered="#{!RecordListController.recordListBean.sortFlag1}"
value="#{RecordListController.recordListBean.headerDesc1}"/>
</f:facet>
<h:commandLink action="viewRecordDetail"
actionListener="#{RecordDetailController.processAction}"
styleClass="selectlink" id="cmdSelectRecord">
<h:outputText value="#{recordListBean.recordValue1}" />
<!--'keyFieldValue' CONTAINS THE CONCATENATED PRIMARY KEY VALUE-->
<f:param name="recordKeyValue"
value="#{recordListBean.keyFieldValue}" />
<f:param name="currentRecord" value="#{recordListBean.currentRecordNo}" /> 
 
</h:commandLink>
</h:column>  

No value is getting displayed as a column header..

Please help me..

Hi,

A facet can only contain one component so your code above, which uses both a outputText and a CommandLink will cause an exception.

If you want to use multiple components like you have done above i think you have to nest them inside <h:panelGroup> </h:pabelGroup> tags.

try:

    
 
<h:column rendered="#{RecordListController.recordListBean.flag1}">
  <f:facet name="header">
    <h:panelGroup>      
      <h:commandLink rendered="#{RecordListController.recordListBean.sortFlag1}"
          actionListener="#{RecordListController.processAction}" id="cmdSort1">
<h:outputText value="#{RecordListController.recordListBean.headerDesc1}"/>

      </h:commandLink>
      <h:outputText rendered="#{!RecordListController.recordListBean.sortFlag1}"
         value="#{RecordListController.recordListBean.headerDesc1}"/>
    </h:panelGrid>
  </f:facet>
   <h:commandLink action="viewRecordDetail" actionListener="#{RecordDetailController.processAction}"
      styleClass="selectlink" id="cmdSelectRecord">
      <h:outputText value="#{recordListBean.recordValue1}" />
      <!--'keyFieldValue' CONTAINS THE CONCATENATED PRIMARY KEY VALUE-->
      <f:param name="recordKeyValue" value="#{recordListBean.keyFieldValue}" />
      <f:param name="currentRecord" value="#{recordListBean.currentRecordNo}" /> 
   </h:commandLink>
</h:column>  
 
 

Do you get any exceptions?

John
