I know this is a fairly old post, but I am working on this same scenario.

Make sure that your jsp/servlets are enabled on your hosting account. By default they are disabled and I think after I submitted to have it enabled it was done within a day. Thus far I have been able to deploy a JSP app and a JSF 1.1 app successfully. I am working on getting facelets working up there now. As far as Tomcat 5.0.27 you have to dig a little to find it. Try this link to download it.

Apache Tomcat 5.0.27 Archive Directory

I will try to repost if I get facelets working.

I have used the RichFaces stuff for a while and have been happy with it overall with a few exceptions. But from an ajax standpoint I have been able to do everything I have wanted up to this point.

Try this:

Hello All,

I am currently trying to get this component to work, but am having problems with the oncopyclick event in the a4j:support tag.

****************** CODE SAMPLE ***********************
<rich:listShuttle
sourceValue="#{backing_bean.newClubsList}"
targetValue="#{backing_bean.existingClubList}"
var="items"
id="shuttle"
sourceCaptionLabel="Available Clubs"
targetCaptionLabel="Currently Assigned Clubs">

<rich:column>
<h:outputText value="#{items.label}"></h:outputText>
</rich:column>

<a4j:support event="oncopyclick" action="#{backing_bean.copyCheck}" />

</rich:listShuttle>

****************** CODE SAMPLE ***********************

My issue at this point, is that my copyCheck method is never getting called. I see my new clubs on the left side and my existing clubs on the right. When I select an item from the left side(newClubsList) and click the "copy" button I see the item get moved over to the right side, but again, my copyCheck method is not getting clicked.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your assistance.

Hello,

The only change I made to get this to work was to download the following versions of the rich faces jars.

richfaces-api-3.1.0.jar
richfaces-impl-3.1.0.jar
richfaces-ui-3.1.0.jar

Other than that I did nothing different. I think this was just a bug in the version of the richfaces datatable.

Google on "download richfaces" and you should find the jars

Sorry if this doesn't help.

Ok, well I will respond to my own post.

I happened to update from the richfaces 3.0.1 to richfaces 3.1.0 to utilize a new component and as I was testing I noticed my tables appeared to be rendering correctly.

So there you have it in case anyone has this issue.

Ok, I am pretty sure I know my answer on this one, but I will put it out here in hopes someone has a different response.

I have a scenario where I am displaying a list of categorized items. For each category I am displaying a tab. Within each tab is a datatable that lists the items for that specific category. In the datatable I only render the column if the vehicleCategoryID matches the category for the tab selected. So if "Cars" has a categoryID of 1 and "Trucks" has a categoryID of 2 then when the first tab is selected I only render the column if the categoryID is 1. Notice I am using a single datatable here as it is much easier to create, manipulate, and read instead of the 7 different datatables I would have to create otherwise. At first glance this works great. When I click on the "Cars" tab I only see car models and when I click on the "Trucks" tab I see only truck models. The problem with this though is I noticed some odd spacing between some of the rows in the tables. Not horrible, but enough to throw the ui look off. Upon further inspection of the page source I found that the spacing between rows was caused by empty additional <tr> tags being added without any matching <td> tags. This is when I realized that even though the columns were not being rendered due to how I specified the rendered attribute, the rows were still being rendered. I suppose I made a mistake in assuming that if no columns were rendered, the rows would not be rendered either. See the pseudo-code below for an example of what I am talking about.

My question is obviously has anyone easily worked around this issue and gotten the <tr> tags to not render. I was hoping for an easy solution as I need to deploy this application shortly, but I am open to any responses on the matter.



For example pseudo-code:

(datamodel "vehicleDataModel" contains all data for both "Cars" and "Trucks")
...
<tab value="Cars">
<datatable value="backing.vehiclesDataModel" var="vehicleData">
<column rendered="#{vehicleData.vehicleCategoryID==1}">
<h:outputText value="#{vehicleData.vehicleModel}" />
</column>
</datatable>
</tab>
<tab value="Trucks">
<datatable value="backing.vehiclesDataModel" var="vehicleData">
<column rendered="#{vehicleData.vehicleCategoryID==2}">
<h:outputText value="#{vehicleData.vehicleModel}" />
</column>
</datatable>
</tab>
...



Thanks Again,

Demian

DOH! Well I feel sheepish. I do that just about everytime I start a new application. I always forget to drop that tag on the top of my pages. I had mistyped my backing bean name.

Thanks for the reminder.

Hello,

I have been hunting for a solution to my issue in these forums, in my books, and elswhere on the web.

Scenario:

I have an application that I have a main page called administrationhome.jsp that includes a left_navigation.jspf as shown here:
<%@ include file="WEB-INF/jspf/left_navigation.jspf" %>

As you can surmise this has links that users will click causing an action to action/outcome to occur as shown here:
<t:commandLink id="cmdlnk_usersearch" binding="#{leftNavigation_backing.linkUserSearch}" action="usersearch" value="#{components.commandlink_leftnav_usersearch}" styleClass="leftnavlink" immediate="true" />

Now I was hoping that I would just make the following entry in my faces-config for my navigation rule and all would be well, but all I get is a refreshing of my original screen:
<navigation-rule>
<display-name>
left_navigation
</display-name>
<from-view-id>
/administrationhome.jsp
</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>
usersearch
</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>
/usersearch.jsp
</to-view-id>
<redirect />
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>


The above did not work, so I tried the next configuration settings, but again all I get is a refreshing of my original screen:
<navigation-rule>
<display-name>
left_navigation
</display-name>
<from-view-id>
/WEB-INF/jspf/left_navigation.jsp
</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>
usersearch
</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>
/usersearch.jsp
</to-view-id>
<redirect />
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>


Is it possible to have the faces-config see what is in the WEB-INF directory?

Any help would be appreciated.

Good Morning,

I am looking for a way to override the default message provided by the Tomahawk validateEmail component. I know I can use message="WHAT EVER", but I want to set the summary to a different value than the detail. I was encouraged when the api doc shows attributes of summaryMessage and detailMessage, but when I tried to implement these were not found in the TLD. When I reviewed the TLD, sure enough these two attributes are not there. Chalk another one up to the always current Tomahawk doc.

With the other validators I have, I am using the f:attribute tags and a phase listener that uses the f:attribute as the detail and a value in my messagebundle for the summary.

For Example:

In my ErrorBundle.properties I have the following for required
>>javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED=*
javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED_detail=REQUIRED_MESSAGE_ID

The phase listener pulls all components that have messages if the detail matches REQUIRED_MESSAGE_ID then it uses the error message I defined in the f:attribute tag for the detail and the "*" I defined in the ErrorBundle.properties for the summary.

I would like to do the same thing for the Tomahawk emailValidator, but have been unsuccessful. Does anyone have any ideas on this one?

Thanks

I have searched through some of the other posts and found some good info, but I am still trying to figure out how to display a datatable using the tomahawk datatable component.

I have 2 tables and corresponding dto beans. The tables are Course Type and Course. The course table has the foreign key of course type id.

I want to display the following in JSF, but have been unable to do so. Any help would be appreciated.
