Column class in prime faces

[Janardhan Chowdary]

Hi Friends,

There is a class named with 'Column' in prime faces api.

Have any body used any methods like 'getWidth()', 'setWidth()' to customize the columns ?

Please let me know if you have any examples for the same.

Thanks,

Usually a "getWidth/setWidth" on a JSF component won't work, because attributes such as "width" are set via EL expressions and therefore you have to setup a rather nasty - and mutable - EL processing environment to get the right data in. Just passing a simple number width value isn't enough.

So instead, you would usually be better off setting the width to a backing bean property like so:

width="#{myBean.column1Width}"

Then instead of pushing the width into the component, the component will pull the width from the backing bean.
