PrimeFaces DataTable - need to enable/disable components based on row selection
I'm using a PrimeFaces DataTable to display records (randomly generated in a sandbox application). I am using the check box selection version. The basic DataTable works perfectly, including the Delete and Cancel buttons (which functionality o开发者_StackOverflow社区nly really is available from the confirmation dialog). I am trying to add functionality to the DataTable so that when a check box is selected, other controls on the page are enabled or disabled based on the selection.
In other words, if no rows are selected (no check boxes are checked) certain buttons and/or menu items are disabled or not rendered. Selecting one or more rows by clicking the check box should enable or render the controls. I have tried using the built in JavaScript event handlers, but I cannot make this work.
Right now my page displays a DataTable 5 columns: a check box selection column, First Name, Last Name, Age. I made something like this work in another sandbox of mine using simple boolean check boxes and updating a boolean with the onclick event. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be anything similar in this DataTable - or if there is I don't know how to implement it.
My index page:

Code from my backing bean which may be relevant:
public void deleteNames()
{
for(Data person : selectedNames)
{
data.remove(person);
}
}
public void cancelDelete()
{
for(Data name : selectedNames)
selectedNames = null;
}
public void onRowSelect(SelectEvent event)
{
if(selectedNames == null || selectedNames.length < 1)
setDisable(true);
else
setDisable(false);
}
public boolean isDisable() {
if(selectedNames == null || selectedNames.length < 1)
disable = true;
else
disable = false;
return disable;
}
public void setDisable(boolean disable) {
this.disable = disable;
}
There is a workaround indeed, at least work for me.
- extract the datatable.js from primefacess
- modify the datatable.js selectRowWithRadio,selectRowWithRadio functions as below
PrimeFaces.widget.DataTable.prototype.selectRowWithCheckbox = function(element) { ... ... //save state this.writeSelections(); // added to add instant row selection this.fireRowSelectEvent(rowId); // end } -
Append the javascript below to end of your datatable component
<p:datatable widgetVar="wv1" id='mydatatable' ....> ... <p:datatable/> <script type="text/javascript"> if(!wv1_main.cfg.onRowSelectUpdate){ wv1.cfg.onRowSelectUpdate=""; }else{ wv1.cfg.onRowSelectUpdate+=" "; } wv1.cfg.onRowSelectUpdate+="UPDATE_IDS"; </script>Replace 'UPDATE_IDS' with your panel ids seperated by space such as "panel1 panel2";
Replace 'wv1' with the value of data table widgetVar property - import the modified js in your jsf page where you want to use instant ajax checkbox/radia selection.
<h:header/> ... <script type="text/javascript" src="#{CONTEXT_PATH}/resources/js/datatable.js"/> <h:header/>
you may highligh selected rows with some more modification
Was just searching for solution to the same problem and since JSF 2 / Primefaces are evolving quite fast these days, found more up-to-date solution for Primefaces of version 3.0 or higher.
As per following answer in PrimeFaces forum thread: http://forum.primefaces.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1373&sid=bbfcd6a343edf586f927cd7ecd7d01b9&start=10#p48388
one can add client-side javascript handler to <p:datatable> component by doing following steps:
1.Add primefaces-extension JAR to your webapp's classpath (this library is also available in central Maven repo under the same name). I tried version 0.6.3 which was the latest at the time of writing, and it worked for me
2.Add pe namespace to corresponding xhtml file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.prime.com.tr/ui"
xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:pe="http://primefaces.org/ui/extensions">
...
</html>
3.Add <pe:javascript> as a child element to your <p:datatable> component (can be actually added to any component which implements ClientBehaviorHolder interface) like the following:
<html>
...
<p:dataTable rowSelectListener="#{tableBean.onRowSelect}" var="data" value="#{tableBean.data}" paginator="true" rows="10" selection="#{tableBean.selectedNames}">
<pe:javascript event="rowSelect" execute="onRowSelectedHandler();"/>
...
</p:dataTable>
...
</html>
And that should be it, hope this helps...
You can catch ajax events that are fired when the row is selected.
In your case,
<p:dataTable rowSelectListener="#{tableBean.onRowSelect}"
var="data" value="#{tableBean.data}" paginator="true" rows="10"
selection="#{tableBean.selectedNames}">
<p:ajax event="rowSelectCheckbox" listener="#{tableBean.handleEvent}"
update="buttonThatNeedsToBeRendered"/>
<p:column selectionMode="multiple" />
...
</p:dataTable>
Other useful events that are fired depending on the selection mode of the dataTable are:
rowSelectandrowUnselectrowSelectCheckboxandrowUnselectCheckboxrowSelectRadiotoggleSelect
