Re: [WDSCI-L] JSF - Fill table with a data set

[Vadim Berestetsky <berestet@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Aaron,

One way to accomplish this, would be to bind DataTable tag to a property in
your backing bean,
which could be some sort of a DataModel for the DataTable.

In the getter for that property you would need to write code that retrieves
data from
your data queue and initializes your DataModel (only if DataModel is
empty).
Subsequently, your action listener will update the DataModel object based
on what
comes back from the RPG application.

Hence, you don't even need to bind your data table to an HtmlDataTable
component, just its value.
I have some code that does something similar. I can post snippets, if you'd
like.

Hope this is of help,
Vadim.

I am diving head first into JSF and have found it to be nice (and
challenging to learn).  The hardest part to deal with is that I am not
controlling the different stages, but instead the JSF life cycle handles
it for me.  I have figured out how to create my own validator, my own
action listener, and now I want to display a result set or data set back
to the browser.  I am assuming that I should create a faces component
like Data Table, and I am assuming that I should fill this Data Table in
my action listener.  There in lies the problem - how do I display a
result set back to the user, filling in a predefined JSF Data Table?

I have tried some simple things like changing the background color of
the table without success. See below for what I have tried.

HtmlDataTable table1 = (HtmlDataTable)
PageCodeBase.findComponentInRoot("table1");
table1.setBgcolor("black");

Note that I am not using WDO (SDO) but rather am getting my data from
data queues being filled by RPG. So somewhere in the JSF cycle I need to
go and get the result set by calling existing Java/RPG logic.

Hope I made sense in what I am trying to do. Thoughts?
