I am trying to create a dynamic PanelNavigation Menu using the method
utilized in the examples. The problem I am having is that I need my
actionListener to be able to access an attribute that identifies the
current item and I don't see how to add an attribute to the
NavigationMenuItem.
For example, I have the facelet code:
<t:panelNavigation2 id="profileNavigation"
layout="list"
itemClass="mypage"
activeItemClass="selected"
disabledStyle="color:red">
<t:navigationMenuItems id="navitems" value="#{mybean.menuItems}" />
</t:panelNavigation2>
My Bean contains the following Code similar to the following as I have
removed a lot of the code to simplify the example:
List<NavigationMenuItems> lMenuItems = new
ArrayList<NavigationMenuItem>();
for( Student lStudent : students ) {
NavigationMenuItem lItem = new
NavigationMenuItem( lStudent.getName(), "#{myaction}");
lItem.setActionListener("#{myActionListener}");
lItem.setValue(lStudent.getName())
}
The problem is that when the user clicks on the menu Item the action
listener needs access to two pieces of information: 1) the student and
2) a display mode.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to set attributes on the
components so that I can look them up in the actionListener.
