Hi Volker,
thanks for your hints, I am making good progress.
In the meantime I did figure out how to write the controller, but the hint with
the ids is quite valuable.
Can you point me to some kind of documentation, since valueBinding is not a
feature specific to Tobago, but rather to JSF ?
I took me quite a while to realise how to add components, (no add method and
the setParent is forbidden) but instead, getChildren.add() ...
How do I add a facet, or rather a Layout Manager. I tried adding it, but it had
no effect e.g.:
UIPanel rootPanel = new UIPanel();
List childList = rootPanel.getChildren();
UIOutput someText = new UIOutput();
someText.setValue("Hello World !");
UIOutput some2 = new UIOutput();
some2.setValue("Line 2");
UIGridLayout layout = new UIGridLayout();
layout.setRows( "2");
layout.setColumns("1");
childList.add( layout);
childList.add( someText);
childList.add( some2);
I would have thought that this should render as 2 lines, but I renders
everything on a single line.
Thanks for your help,
Peter
