PrimeFaces 5.2 selectCheckboxMenu not support Map<String,String> style selectItems - primefaces

I am trying to use
Map<String,String>
style selectItems in my
<p:selectCheckboxMenu>
but unfortunately, it not works.
Backing bean:
#Named(value = "roleBean")
#SessionScoped
public class RoleBean(){
private Map<String,String> roleMap;
private String[] selectRoles;
......
......
public void findRoleMap(){
if(roles.size()>0){
for(Role r:roles){
roleMap.put(r.getRoleId(),r.getRoleName());
}
logger.info("Role Map size: " + roleMap.size());
}
}
}
jsf as:
<p:selectCheckboxMenu id="roles" value="#{roleBean.selectRoles}" label="Select your roles" filter="true" filterMatchMode="startsWith" height="200" panelStyle="width:200px">
<f:selectItems value="#{roleBean.roleMap.entrySet}" var="entry" itemLabel="#{entry.value}" itemValue="#{entry.key}"/>
</p:selectCheckboxMenu>
When I access the page, I found there is 6 records were added into the map. but unfortunately, there is nothing shows up in the selectCheckboxMenu drop down list.
If I change the UIComponent to
<p:selectOneMenu>
from
<p:selectCheckboxMenu>
it shows up properly in dropdown list.
I tried to find out through google, I didn't find anyone else trying to use key/value pair in Map style as selectItems in selectCheckboxMenu. I was very confused.
My question is: Does selectCheckboxMenu support key/value pair mapping style or not, if it does. How To do it?
Please advise!!

PropertyNotFoundException for p:column filterValue attribute

we are trying to migrate our application from tomcat/websphere to was liberty profile.
Additionally we are upgrading the myfaces-version, we are using 2.1, to myfaces-2.2.
To save the current state of a table (filtering) we store the filtered value in a map and read it when loading the table (filterValue attribute of p:column).
When initially loading the table the correct method will be used (in our case its getFilterValue in the DataModel). But if we start filtering a column, the method wont be found anymore and the following exception occurs:
javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Die Eigenschaft 'getFilterValue' wurde nicht im Typ package.LazyModel gefunden.

The table:
<p:dataTable id="table" var="group"
value="#{bean.lazyModel}"
selection="#{bean.selectedMulti}"
rows="#{bean.lazyModel.rows}" paginator="true"
currentPageReportTemplate="#{msg['data.table.pagereport']}"
paginatorTemplate="#{msg['data.table.paginator']}"
rowsPerPageTemplate="#{msg['data.table.rows']}"
resizableColumns="true" rowKey="#{group.pkId}" lazy="true"
filterDelay="1000" emptyMessage="#{msg['data.table.empty']}"
style="font-size: 8pt;"
tableStyle="font-size: 8pt; table-layout:auto;"
first="#{bean.lazyModel.first_m}"> >
<p:column headerText="Name"
sortBy="#{group.name}" filterBy="#{group.name}"
filterValue="#{bean.lazyModel.getFilterValue('name')}"
filterStyleClass="column_filter" styleClass="wrap">
<h:outputText value="#{group.name}" />
</p:column>
...
The lazymodel:
#Named
#Scope(value = "prototype")
public class LazyModel extends AbstractLazyModel<Brand> {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 2247660292777600670L;
/**
* Konstruktor
*/
public LazyModel() {
super();
}
public Object getFilterValue(final String keyForColumn) {
return this.filterManager.getFilterField(this.getKeyForPage(), keyForColumn);
}
I think this should be the most important things to know.
So, i dont understand what changed between these versions that trigger the exception.
Every help would be great. TIA!
I don't know why this has worked before (it should not have (properly)), but the error you are currently getting is sort of expected. The filterValue attribute should be bound to a property with read and write access. You could bind each column filter value to an individual property, but it is more convenient to use a Map<String,Object> for your filter values.
Bean (lazy model in your case):
private Map<String,Object> filterValues = new HashMap<>();
// ... add getter and setter for filterValues
XHTML:
filterValue="#{bean.lazyModel.filterValues['name']}"

Iterate over nested a list of objects in primefaces tabView and dataTable

I am trying to combine primefaces (v6.0) tabView and editable dataTable in jsf 2.2 framework. From reading many excellent threads from this forum, I was able to add/remove tab dynamically and implement editable table which allows add/remove a row dynamically.
However I am having a trouble to read a property "name" belongs to Hobby object. To be precise, instead of viewing a property belong to Hobby object, IDE displays properties of Person object.
I am hoping experienced JSF developers be able to find my mistake and advise me what I've done wrong and how to correct it.
FYI-The example I pasted here is water down version.
<p:tabView value="#{bean.people}" var="person">
<p:tab title="#{person.name}">
<h:panelGrid>
<p:dataTable value="#{person.hobbies}" var="hobby">
<p:column headerText="my hobby">
#{hobby.name}
</p:column>
</p:datatTable>
</h:panelGrid>
</p:tab>
Managed bean:
#ManagedBean(name="bean")
#ViewScoped
public class Bean {
private List<Person> people;
#PostConstruct
public void init() {
people = new ArrayList<>();
}
// getter/setter for people
.....
}
Person model:
public class Person {
private List<Hobby> hobbies;
private String name;
public Person() {
hobbies = new ArrayList<>();
}
// getter/setter for hobbies and name
....
}
Hobby Model:
public class Hobby {
private String name;
// getter/setter for name
....
}

Primefaces: Bind component value from valueExpression string

I read some articles here and they always say:
Don't create components programatically, all you can do by code is possible in xhtml too
So I have an interesting question.
I have component Calendar:
<p:calendar>
<f:attribute name="value" value="#{column.properties['from_value']}" />
</p:calendar>
Or you can simplify it:
<p:calendar value="#{column.properties['from_value']}" />
Properties
column is var of <p:columns> component
It has variable properties which is Map<String,String>
In properties I have key from_value and inside it I have String : "#{bean.object.dateFrom}"
My question is:
How can i convert this string to ValueExpression ?
Because when I run this code. Inside p:calendar is value "#{bean.object.dateFrom}" ... I need to set it as valueExpression and not String
What I get:
Calendar: #{bean.object.dateFrom}
What I want to achieve:
Calendar: 02.11.2017
-
Same code but Programmatically :
public ValueExpression createValueExpression(String valueExpression, Class<?> valueType) {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
return context.getApplication().getExpressionFactory().createValueExpression(context.getELContext(), valueExpression, valueType);
}
...
Calendar fromCalendar = new Calendar();
fromCalendar.setValueExpression("value", createValueExpression(properties.get("from_value"), Object.class));
Hope it's clear what I want to achieve.
Thank's for replies

Weird dataTable behaviour when combined with accordionPanel

I get a very strange behaviour when I combine the accordionPanel (dynamic tabs) together with a dataTable. In my project the total amount of dynamic tabs can get really big (>1000) so I really need the dynamic loading of the accordionPanel working, otherwise it is way too slow.
The problem
Instead of only loading the datatable for the currently selected tab, the getter method to load the elements from a list variable is being called 6 times the total amount of dynamic tabs. So if I have 300 dynamic tabs, the getter method is called 1800 times. If I however do not use a dataTable but i.e. just output text, the getter method is only called once like it should be.
Here is a small working example which produces the unwanted behaviour:
xhtml
<p:accordionPanel id="datasetHistoryAccordionTab" value="#{Bean.orderDatasets}" var="dataset" dynamic="true">
<p:tab title="Dataset ##{dataset.id}">
<p:tabView>
<p:tab title="All Processes">
<p:dataTable value="#{Bean.datasetProgressHistoryAll}" />
<!-- <h:outputText value="#{Bean.datasetProgressHistoryAll}" /> -->
</p:tab>
</p:tabView>
</p:tab>
</p:accordionPanel>
Bean
#ManagedBean
#ViewScoped
public class Bean implements Serializable
{
private List<DatasetBE> orderDatasets = new ArrayList<DatasetBE>(300);
private List<DatasetHistoryBE> datasetHistoryAll = new ArrayList<DatasetHistoryBE>();
public List<DatasetBE> getOrderDatasets() {
return orderDatasets;
}
public void setOrderDatasets(List<DatasetBE> orderDatasets) {
this.orderDatasets = orderDatasets;
}
public List<DatasetHistoryBE> getDatasetHistoryAll() {
log.debug("getDatasetHistoryAll() called...");
return datasetHistoryAll;
}
public void setDatasetProgressHistoryAll(List<DatasetHistoryBE> datasetHistoryAll) {
this.datasetHistoryAll = datasetHistoryAll;
}
}
The initial state is OK but as soon as I change to another tab the getter method is being called like crazy...
Is this a bug in PrimeFaces or am I doing something wrong? In my project I still use PF 3.5 but for testing purposes I also tried PF 4.0 but the same strange behaviour applies... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Primefaces 3.5 multisort failure on pagination .. do we have fix?

Primefaces 3.5 introduced multisort on dataTable. But it has a bug with pagination.
Everytime paginator button is pressed, the sort column(sortMeta obj of the col) set at the time of table initial render is sent to the load method and not the selected sort column(s). If the initial sortOrder is not set, a null is sent.
Has there been a fix to this problem? Does anybody know if this has been fixed in any of the Elite versions? Or if there is a workaround for it?
Need some urgent help.
Thanks
I was able to overcome the problem by doing some additional coding in the application. This wouldn't be needed if the original bug is fixed in the later versions.
My solution
I have added 2 ajax events, for 'sort' and 'page' on the table. I saw that on each 'sort' the table had the right list of multisortmeta, but on the pagination call, it was getting over written with initial data.
So I have saved the list of multisortmeta in the bean on each sort call and on pagination call i have over written the table's list of multisortmeta with what i have in the bean. My bean is a session bean hence there is no problem with saving the list.
Once this is done the multisort is working on pagination. Below is my code
view/xhtml code
<p:dataTable id="userDataTable"
value="#{userBean.userModel}" var="usr"
paginator="true" paginatorAlwaysVisible="false" sortMode="multiple"
rowsPerPageTemplate="20,40,60" rows="20"
sortBy="#{userBean.preSortOrder}" lazy="true"
resizableColumns="false" >
<p:ajax event="page" listener="#{userBean.onPage}" ></p:ajax>
<p:ajax event="sort" listener="#{userBean.onSort}" ></p:ajax>
Bean code
public void onSort( SortEvent event) {
UIViewRoot viewRoot = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot();
UIComponent tableComp = viewRoot.findComponent("userForm:userDataTable");
DataTable table = ((DataTable)tableComp);
preSortOrder = table.getMultiSortMeta();
}
public void onPage() {
UIViewRoot viewRoot = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot();
UIComponent tableComp = viewRoot.findComponent("userForm:userDataTable");
DataTable table = ((DataTable)tableComp);
table.setMultiSortMeta(preSortOrder);
}
Hope this will be useful to others as well.
