how to make a column dynamic ?

[Tawfeeq Al-Moumen]

Hi everyone,

I've tried to make my columns dynamic by using rendered property.
everything went fine except that the header values didn't show.
so, would please give some explanations about this issue ?

regards,

<rich:dataTable value="#{stationLoad.results}"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
width="700" border="0" var="record">
<rich:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<hutputText value="Hour"/>
</f:facet>
<hutputText value="#{record.time}"/>
</rich:column>
<rich:column rendered="#{record.mvar}">
<f:facet name="header">
<hutputText value="MVAR"/>
</f:facet>
<hutputText value="#{record.mvarValue}"/>
</rich:column>
<rich:column rendered="#{record.mw}">
<f:facet name="header">
<hutputText value="MW"/>
</f:facet>
<hutputText value="#{record.mwValue}"/>
</rich:column>
</rich:dataTable>

Hi Tawfeeq,

What do you mean the header values aren't showing?

It looks like you're defining the header values inside component that you have the rendered tag on.

EG:

<rich:column rendered="#{record.mvar}">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="MVAR"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{record.mvarValue}"/>
</rich:column>

So the header value MVAR will not display as well as the value of record.mvarValue based on the value of record.mvar.

Am I understanding your question correctly?

Dear Darryl Nortje,

sorry for not giving you more detail.

what I have noticed that there is no problem will happen to the column if the rendered property is false
but if the rendered property is true, it showed me the data and hide the header name.

This situation,I have ever come across.

The solution is below:

First,You should use rendered in
<rich:dataTable var="m" value="#{beanname.property}">
<rich:column>
<hutputText id="" value="#{m.property}" rendered="#{m.property =='' ?ture:false}">

</rich:column>
