if you want to display the checkboxes only, i dont think you would be having a prob but if u want to submit the page n get the values of the selected checkboxes in your bean.. i think it wud b a lil prob.. coz i cudnt use checkboxes in a datatable even.. tree table is still ahead of that..
for the datatable, i used jars provided by jenia.. you can check that out if that helps..

Hi,
I have the following question. I'm modifying the treetable example from the
tomahawk samples. For a columns you would find blocks like this.
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Description" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{ treeItem.description}" />
</h:column>
Now I would like to display a checkbox rather then a static text. So I
modified this to
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="" />
</f:facet>
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{treeItem.selected}"
styleClass="checkbox"/>
</h:column>
This displays fine. But there's a problem with the name attribute of the
checkboxes. They all have the same name, e.g. "f:_id5" and this leads
obviously to confusion when submitting the form.
My questions are
1. why does JSF not apply different name attributes automatically?
2. I tried to set the IDs manually by
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="" />
</f:facet>
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox id="cb#{treeItem.id}"
value="#{treeItem.selected}" styleClass="checkbox"/>
</h:column>
But it seems that you cannot set ID attributes by _expression_ language. I
always get errors like "# is not allowed character"
Can you help?
Michael
