Simpling loading a jsf into an existing page via a menuitem

21 February, 2008 - 00:10 — joshb

Hi,

What I'm trying to do is really elementary. Not sure why I'm having so much difficulty.

I have a menu:

<b:menuPopUpItem label="Go to Locations">

<e:handler event="click">

  <c:load url="locations.jsf" mode="replaceChildren" destination="id('workArea')"/>

</b:menuPopUpItem>

workArea is defined as:

<bjsf:panel id="workArea">

..

</bjsf:panel>

Right now, my locations.jsf file is defined as:

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>

<%@ taglib uri="http://www.backbase.com/2007/jsf" prefix="bjsf"%>

<f:subview id="workArea">

...

</f:subview>

If I do something really simple in the subview, I get a "Multiple ID Occurences". I assume this is because whatever is being replaced isn't being destoryed propery.

If I do something more complex, I get an XML parsing error to do with namespaces.

This should be dead simple.

Any helps is greatly appreciated.

Hi jblinick,

Please see below for an example on how to load a subview via a select event which is triggered by a bjsf:menuItem.

Index.jsp

<bjsf:application clientDebug="true">

<bjsf:panelLayout rows="5% *" fullScreen="true">

<bjsf:panel id="menuContainer">

<bjsf:menuBar id="menu">

<bjsf:menuItem itemLabel="File">

<bjsf:menuItem itemLabel="Open" selectListener="#{myBean.open}"/>

<bjsf:menuItem itemLabel="Save" id="menuSave" />

<bjsf:menuItem itemLabel="Export">

<bjsf:menuItem itemLabel="To Png" />

<bjsf:menuItem itemLabel="To Gif" />

</bjsf:menuItem>

</bjsf:menuItem>

<bjsf:menuItem itemLabel="Edit">

<bjsf:menuItem itemLabel="Cut" />

<bjsf:menuItem itemLabel="Copy" />

<bjsf:menuItem itemLabel="Paste" />

</bjsf:menuItem>

</bjsf:menuBar>

</bjsf:panel>

<bjsf:panel id="mainView" style="border: solid 1px grey;" />

</bjsf:panelLayout>

</bjsf:application>

View1.jsp

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>

<%@ taglib uri="http://www.backbase.com/2007/jsf" prefix="bjsf"%>

<f:subview id="main">

<bjsf:view>

<bjsf:outputText value="Content goes here "></bjsf:outputText>

</bjsf:view>

</f:subview>

myBean.java

public void open(SelectEvent event) {

BackbaseContext context = BackbaseContext.getCurrentInstance();

System.out.println(event.getComponent().getId());

UIComponent destComp = ComponentUtils.findComponent(context.getViewRoot(),"mainView");

context.loadView(destComp, "view1.jsp", "replacechildren");

}

Hope this helps,

-Senaka

Thanks
