Hello there, I have a datatable is populated with a collection of items, and I want to query each item that is returned to determine whether or not the currently user has the rights to view/edit the item, thus returning the relevant icon/link.
The Item bean is unaware of which user is logged in and ideally i would put this functionality in the backing bean, possibly using a parameterised query (which I understand is not possible using EL). Although I could kludge this as a workaround and make the Item bean aware of the user, this really breaks the MVC setup of the application. I have used ASP.NET previously which has various events associated with the datagrid such as 'ItemDataBound' which would allow me to alter the layout of the row on the fly. I have done some searching and don't think that an equivalent function is available on the dataTable. I'd be very grateful of any advice that would allow me to achieve this in JSF. Thanks in anticipation, Carl -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Querying-data-on-row-creation-in-a-dataTable-tf2692094.html#a7507061 Sent from the MyFaces - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
