I'm working on dashboard application where I have to retrieve a set of records and display in dynamic tables boxes. Page frame length is fixed. now of columns and rows can be initialized. It should look like this sample:
Currently I'm using data table to display but it prints all the data in one column. How would I change my code to above pattern?
<o:dataTable id="tabBlSearch" var="item"
onkeyup="handleLeftRightArrowOnDataTable('frmDashBoard:tabBlSearch')"
value="#{bLDashBoardAction.listBondLoc}">
<o:column style="width: 20px;">
<h:outputText value="#{item.awb}" />
</o:column>
</o:dataTable>
You can achieve this with standard JSF components using a <h:panelGrid> wherein <c:forEach> is been used to generate the cells during the view build time. The <ui:repeat> won't work as that runs during view render time.
<h:panelGrid columns="5">
<c:forEach items="#{bean.items}" var="item">
<h:panelGroup>
<h:outputText value="#{item.value}" />
</h:panelGroup>
</c:forEach>
</h:panelGrid>
As to component libraries, I don't see anything in OpenFaces' showcase, but PrimeFaces has a <p:dataGrid> for exactly this purpose, even with pagination support.
<p:dataGrid columns="5" value="#{bean.items}" var="item">
<p:column>
<h:outputText value="#{item.value}" />
</p:column>
</p:dataGrid>
I am looking for solution that p:overlayPanel content should update it self while clicking commendButton or commendLink. But its showing blank white p:overlayPanel when i click the button. The updating with the p:overlayPanel id in that button or link. I have tried many ways nothing worked out. Is my code wrong?
Please suggest some solution.
Here is my code :
<ui:repeat id="profiles" value="#{items.lstProfiles}" var="profile">
<p:commandLink id="profileLink" value="show" update="moviePanel"
actionListener="#{dashBoardController.showProfileOverlay}"/>
<p:overlayPanel id="moviePanel" for="profileLink" hideEffect="fade"
dynamic="true" style="width:300px; height: 150px;">
<h:panelGrid columns="2">
<h:outputText value="Name : "/>
<h:outputText value="#{dashBoardController.selectedProfile.name}"/>
</h:panelGrid>
</p:overlayPanel>
</ui:repeat>
Usually dynamic="true" should do the job but some times it fails.So to update the contents inside the Overlay.
There are many ways to do this by tweaking Jquery.
Simplest one I can think of is:
Since ui:repeat generates dynamic ID for p:overlayPanels you can update by providing unique css class name from every iteration.
In Primefaces you can select a component using css class also using: #(.myclass).
And so you can update that component also:- update="#(.mystyle)"
Example:
<h:form>
<ui:repeat var="patient" value="#{dataCenter.patientList}">
<p:commandLink value="#{patient.firstName}" id="patientNameLnk" update="#(.overlay-class-#{patient.patientId})"/><br/>
<p:overlayPanel for="patientNameLnk">
<h:panelGroup styleClass="overlay-class-#{patient.patientId}">
#{patient.firstName}
#{patient.lastName}
#{patient.dob}
</h:panelGroup>
</p:overlayPanel>
</ui:repeat>
</h:form>
In the above example css class name for every h:panelGroup will be generated as overlay-class-<PATIENT_ID> so every h:panelGroup will have unique class name(if patientId is unique).
Note: Note that I'm updating h:panelGroup inside p:overlayPanel because if you update p:overlayPanel then it might start flickering(it happened to me while executing above example).
<p:panel id="sports" header="<p:inputText id='headerz' value='text of headerz'" toggleable="true" closable="true" >
this is my code. Page doesnt show p:inputText.
on the source code of page i can see the input text with id=headerz but it is greyed.
Try This:
<p:panel id="sports" toggleable="true" closable="true" >
<f:facet name="header">
<p:inputText id='headerz' value='text of headerz' />
</f:facet>
</p:panel>
This is because the header attribute is meant for text not for JSF markup. In other words you may use it to give the panel a title, but not to add JSF components.
What is idea?
Save the graphics in images.
Pass the binary to a String on the server.
Identify the graph from the binary (ready).
Create a pdf with data and graphics (ready, use itex).
View the pdf (ready).
But I can not export any graphics. This is because I can not detect them.
When I include a graphic in a datatable, widgetvar are repeated, so I can not use the solution of the showcase.
$('#output').empty().append(chartWidgetvar.exportAsImage());
This is part of my code.
<h:form id="reportePro">
<p:dataTable value="#{listas.reporteSeccionPro}" var="p"
selection="#{listas.reporteSeleccionadoSeccionPro}"
selectionMode="single" rowKey="#{p.idFila}"
emptyMessage="No existen coincidencias" id="reporteGeneral">
<p:column headerText="Chart">
<p:commandButton id="chartBtn" value="Gráficos" type="button" />
<p:overlayPanel id="chartPanel" for="chartBtn" hideEffect="fade"
showEffect="fade" appendToBody="true"
style="width:900px;height:450px;">
<p:pieChart id="pie"
styleClass="jqplot-table-legend jqplot-target"
value="#{p.pieModel}" extender="ext"
title="#{p.nomProSeccionPro}"
style="width:400px;height:450px;font-size:15px;"
showDataLabels="true" sliceMargin="5"
seriesColors="DB4C14, C0E9ED, A8CCED, C7B47F, F7F28F, 4DB0C4" />
</p:overlayPanel>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
</h:form>
I thought use dynamic id ,
<p:pieChart id="#{chart.idPie}" />
but can not be set.
I thought use dynamic widgetvar,
<p:pieChart widgetvar="#{chart.idPie}" />
but can not be set.
I thought of using only the id of the graphics,
#{p:widgetVar ('ComponentId')}
but remember that you can not use dynamic id
Another solution might be to use the canvas.toDataURL, for that, I need the id of the first canvas, but does not generate primefaces ID.
So I can not use this solution.
After spending hours and did not find the solution, I ask me.
It is possible to export a chart to an image, when they are in a datatable?
I would like to be able to conditionally omit a footer from a PrimeFaces panel element:
<p:panel header="some text">
<f:facet name="footer">
#{message}
</f:facet>
<!-- ... -->
</p:panel>
I hoped that the rendered attribute would work:
<p:panel header="some text">
<f:facet name="footer" rendered="#{!empty message}">
#{message}
</f:facet>
<!-- ... -->
</p:panel>
But the footer is still rendered, with empty content. It appears that facet does not have the rendered attribute: http://www.jsftoolbox.com/documentation/help/12-TagReference/core/f_facet.html.
What's the right way to do this?
I was able to solve this by swapping the facet out for an attribute. To summarize:
This works
<p:panel ...>
<f:attribute name="footer" value="#{message}"/>
<!-- ... -->
</p:panel>
But this doesn't work
<p:panel footer="#{message}">
<!-- ... -->
</p:panel>
Neither does this
<p:panel ...>
<f:facet name="footer">#{message}</f:facet>
<!-- ... -->
</p:panel>
Nor this
<p:panel ...>
<f:facet name="footer">
<h:outputText value="#{message}" rendered="#{!empty message}"/>
</f:facet>
<!-- ... -->
</p:panel>
by "works" I mean:
"renders no footer — not just an empty footer — when #{message} is empty or null; otherwise, correctly renders the footer with the specified text."
PrimeFaces forum thread on this issue
You could declare a ui:param and let the template check the param while renderring.
The facet in the template could then be declared as:
<f:facet name="#{hideFooter == null or not hideFooter ? 'footer' : ''}">
#{message}
</f:facet>
Any page can then declare this param
<ui:param name='hideFooter' value='#{some rule}' />
and set the appropriate rule for the param. For any page that does not declare the param, the footer will be displayed.
Here's what I did in trying to conditionally render a facet within a composite component.
<composite:interface>
<composite:facet name="header" required="false" />
</composite:interface>
<composite:implementation>
<p:panel>
<c:if test="#{empty component.facets.header}" >
<f:facet id="#{cc.attrs.id}_default_header" name="header">
all sorts of stuff here
</f:facet>
</c:if>
<c:if test="#{not empty component.facets.header}">
<composite:insertFacet id="#{cc.attrs.id}_custom_header" name="header" />
</c:if>
<composite:insertChildren id="#{cc.attrs.id}_content"/>
</p:panel>
</composite:implementation>
This let's the user of the composite component supply the header facet if they want, and if they don't, we supply a default. Obviously, instead of providing a default, you could simply not do anything.
This mixes c:if in jsf controls, but we didn't see any adverse effects.
I have come across a similar issue with plain JSF. I am not sure how a <p:panel> is rendered, but if it is rendered as a table, you can try this:
First, declare a CSS-class like this:
.HideFooter tfoot {
display: none;
}
Then set that class conditionally on the panel:
<p:panel styleClass="#{renderFooterCondition ? null : 'HideFooter'}">
The footer is still rendered in the JSF-sense, but it is not displayed and does not take up any space in the page when viewed by the user-agent.
I successfully solved this problem using ui:fragment
<ui:fragment rendered="...Test...">
<f:facet name="footer">
...
</f:facet>
</ui:fragment>
works for example to conditionnaly render the footer of a primefaces datatable (the rendered attribute of the facet does not work).
Not sure how well this would work for your footer, but I had the same issue with a legend I was trying to conditionally render. I fixed it by using the rendered on anything inside the facet tag.
<p:fieldset>
<f:facet name="legend">
<h:outputText value="#{header1}" rendered="#{header1.exists}"/>
<h:outputText value="#{header2}" rendered="#{not header1.exists}"/>
</f:facet>
content
</p:fieldset>
I had difficulty trying c:if with my ui:repeat, so this was my solution. Not quite the same as your problem, but similar.
Facets are not intended to render HTML, which is why it doesn't have the rendered attribute. Facets add functionality to a page. The term facet is probably a poor choice of name. It's very ambiguous.
..if the list compiled by ITworld's Phil Johnson has it right, the
single hardest thing developers do is name things.
ie.
JSF facets
A project facet is a specific unit of functionality that you can add to a project when that functionality is required. When a project facet is added to a project, it can add natures, builders, classpath entries, and resources to a project, depending on the characteristics of the particular project. JSF facets define the characteristics of your JSF enabled web application. The JSF facets specify the requirements and constraints that apply to your JSF project.
The JSF facets supply a set behaviors and capabilities to your web application.
This is a counter-answer to the answer from Ludovic Pénet.
This worked for me in <f:facet name="footer"> in selected p:column items of a p:dataTable (Primefaces 5.3):
...
Note how I have the ui:fragment inside the f:facet, not outside (not wrapping) it. It definitely completely removes the entire row when every footer facet is tested to NOT render (as far as I can tell, independent of the content within the ui:fragment).
Try with this, from primefaces web page
<p:columnGroup type="footer">
<p:row>
<p:column colspan="3" style="text-align:right" footerText="Totals:" />
<p:column footerText="your value in ajax" />
<p:column footerText="your value in ajax" />
</p:row>
</p:columnGroup>

For those who landed here trying to hide the footer, instead of header, but the syntax component.facets.footer didn't work, should try this:
<p:panel id="panelContent">
<c:if test="#{not empty cc.facets.footer}">
<f:facet name="footer" height="100%">
your content
</f:facet>
</c:if>
</panel>
Why don't you enclose the content of the footer into a panelGroup which has the rendered attribute?
This way:
<p:panel header="some text">
<f:facet name="footer">
<h:panelGroup rendered="#{!empty message}">
#{message}
</h:panelGroup>
</f:facet>
<!-- ... -->
</p:panel>
I do it in my weapp and it works, no footer is rendered.
I don't use primefaces though, I do it with h:datatable, but I think that it must works with p:panel too.
I try this solution and ok. (http://www.coderanch.com/t/431222/JSF/java/dynamically-set-panel-header-condition)
<rich:dataGrid value="#{myMB.student.list}" rendered="#{!empty myMB.student and !empty myMB.student.list}" var="st" rowKeyVar="row">
<rich:panel>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:panelGroup id="panelHeader">
<h:outputText value="Just one student" id="header1" required="true" rendered="#{!myMB.manyStudents}"/>
<h:outputText value="#{row+1}º Student" id="header2" required="true" rendered="#{myMB.manyStudents}"/>
</h:panelGroup>
</f:facet>
<rich:panel>
