not sure if I fully get it, but does this look appealing (shown with
jboss-seam and facelets code):
@Name("editState") @Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class EditStateBean {
private Map<String, Boolean> editing = new HashSet<String, Boolean>();
public Map<String, Boolean> getEditing() {
return editState;
}
}
<html>
<body>
<h:form>
<sandbox:limitRendered>
<h:panelGroup rendered="#{editState.editing['firstName']}">
<h:inputText value="#{bean.firstName}" />
<h:commandButton value="Save">
<t:updateActionListener property="#{editState.editing['firstName']}"
value="#{false}" />
</h:commandButton>
</h:panelGroup>
<h:panelGroup>
<h:outputText value="#{bean.firstName}" />
<h:commandButton value="Edit">
<t:updateActionListener property="#{editState.editing['firstName']}"
value="#{true}" />
</h:commandButton>
</h:panelGroup>
</sandbox:limitRendered>
</h:form>
</body>
</html>
Then you can take this one step further and create a facelets include
or a custom component to make this easier to do it many times. You can
also add in PPR/AJAX support as desired.
