I have a richdatatable in jsf .xhtml page . I have a very long text for a particular cell.
How can i set the width of the column and also display the text within the specified cell.
I am new to JSF and CSS. I am providing an example. Suppose I have two columns in a richdatatable and one of them have a very long text. I want that very long text to get displayed in lines(wrap text) rather than in a single line. I m not sure where, how and what to put as part of CSS
<ui:composition template="/template.xhtml">
<ui:define name="title">
<h:outputText value="#{bundle.ViewFileTitle}"></h:outputText>
</ui:define>
<ui:define name="body">
<h:form>
<rich:dataTable value="#{fileController.feedbackFileItems}" var="item" id="table">
<rich:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="#{bundle.ListFeedbackTitle_feedbackPK_feedbackId}"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{item.feedbackPK.feedbackId}"/>
</rich:column>
<rich:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="#{bundle.ListFeedbackTitle_department}"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{item.department}"/>
</rich:column>
</rich:dataTable>
</h:form>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
For displaying long text in multiple line you can use width attribute of rich:column:
<rich:column width="150" ...>
or the same for h:column:
<h:column width="110">
If you don't want to display text of datatable cell in multiple lines, then
1) you can use columnClasses attribute of rich:dataTable and specify no-wrap style for that column. For example combination
<rich:dataTable columnClasses="nowrap,">
with CSS
.nowrap {
white-space: nowrap;
}
will be resulted as table with non wrapped first column.
2) You can use style or styleClass attributes of rich:column for the same result (with the same CSS).

I placed a p:selectBooleanCheckbox inside a p:dataTable in a JSF project.
When the cell is selected the check box floats to the right.
I know it's a css thing but i'm not sure how to fix it.
<p:cellEditor>
<f:facet name="output">
<p:selectBooleanCheckbox id="hasUserOutputCheckBox" value="#{customerBean.selectedReference.hasUser}"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="input">
<p:selectBooleanCheckbox id="hasUserInputCheckBox" value="#{customerBean.selectedReference.hasUser}"/>
</f:facet>
</p:cellEditor>
The issue is that the editable table cell has a padding of 1rem (PrimeFaces 10, Saga theme) in output mode, but a padding of 0 in input mode. This is caused by the rule:
.ui-datatable .ui-datatable-data tr.ui-row-editing td.ui-editable-column {
padding: 0;
}
You can fix this difference by adding a padding of 1rem to your checkbox in input mode.
Tested with:
<p:dataTable value="#{testView.bools}" var="bool" editable="true">
<p:column headerText="bool">
<p:cellEditor>
<f:facet name="output">
<p:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{bool}" disabled="true"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="input">
<!-- Add padding here: -->
<p:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{bool}" style="padding:1rem"/>
</f:facet>
</p:cellEditor>
</p:column>
<p:column style="width:6rem">
<p:rowEditor/>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
Result:
Note that the actual padding you need to use might depend on the PrimeFaces version and the theme you are using. So, check the actual padding first using your browser's debugging tools.

I want to implment a scrollbar for a outputLabel but if i use scrollbar component it put every list elment in a new row. The whole output should be disyplayed in one row and the list should be scrollable. Can i fix this problem with a CSS attribute?
i use primefaces 4.0 and jsf 2.1
here is my code
<p:commandButton id="newMessage" update=":contentForm"
actionListener="#{taskboxBean.newMessage}" value="New Message" />
<p:commandButton id="trash"
update=":contentForm, :postForm:tabViewPosts:trashTable, :postForm:tabViewPosts:inboxTable, :postForm:tabViewPosts:sentTable"
actionListener="#{taskboxBean.deleteSelectedTaskbox}" icon="ui-icon-trash" title="Trash" />
<p:scrollPanel>
<ui:repeat var="task_to_user" value="#{taskboxBean.selectedTaskbox.TASKBOX_TO_USERS}">
<p:outputLabel
value="#{task_to_user.USER.EMAIL} #{task_to_user.USER.FIRST_NAME} #{task_to_user.USER.LAST_NAME} #{task_to_user.USER.FIRST_NAME}" />
</ui:repeat>
</p:scrollPanel>
<h:outputText value="#{taskboxBean.selectedTaskbox.TASKTYPE.NAME} " />
<h:outputText value="#{taskboxBean.selectedTaskbox.CREATE_TIMESTAMP} " />
I have a datatable where for one column, I would like to change the height of the column based on the string to display. Sometimes the string I am getting is very small and sometimes it is very long. So in case of long string, I would like to change the height of the column so that the entire string can be wrapped inside the column.
Below is the declaration of my data table:
<p:dataTable var="employee" id="employees_table"
value="#{employeeDetailsBean.selectedEmployee.details}">
<p:column headerText="Employee Name">
<h:outputText value="#{employee.name}" />
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Employee Previous Work History">
<h:outputText value="#{employee.prevWorkHistory}" />
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
What you want is to wrap the text within column. <p:column width="50" headerText="Employee Name" styleClass="wrap"> add CSS .ui-datatable tbody td.wrap {
white-space: normal;
}
I have a set of subtables that is fed from the managed bean, and they may or may not have a header text.
<p:dataTable var="xxxxx" value="#{}" styleClass="xxxxx" emptyMessage="#{}">
<f:facet name="header">#{}</f:facet>
<p:columnGroup type="header">
<p:row>
<p:column headerText="xxxxx" />
</p:row>
</p:columnGroup>
<p:subTable var="xxxxx" value="#{}">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText rendered="#{}"
value="#{}" />
</f:facet>
<p:column style="text-align:center;">
<h:outputText value="#{}" />
</p:column>
</p:column>
</p:subTable>
</p:dataTable>
Only structure shown. Tag contents wiped on purpose.
when the subtable header is empty text, it still renders a thin empty header line. Is there any way I can supress the exibition of that header in case empty?
Using PF 3.5 on Tomcat 7 (mojarra)
Supress the exibition of the empty header of the subtable by using this CSS property:
td.ui-datatable-subtable-header:empty {
display: none
}
Good Morning!
Is it possible to reRender only 1 specific row of rich:dataTable?
I have a rich:dataTable and, when I do something that I´m sure only 1 row has changed, I need to reRednder only this row, not the entire table. Is it possible? How?
XHTML:
<rich:dataTable id="myTable" value="#{bean.table}" var="me">
<rich:column>
<h:outputText value="#{me.id}" />
</rich:column>
<rich:column>
<h:outputText value="#{me.valueOne}" />
</rich:column>
<rich:column>
<h:outputText value="#{me.valueTwo}" />
</rich:column>
</rich:dataTable>
<some:tag.... reRender="??????" action="bean.example" />
Java:
public void example{
// Do something that affects to the row selected
}
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Yes , it is possible . You have to specify the followings things:
Which columns to be rendered via the reRender attribute of the tags that can invoke MBean method
What rows to be rendered via the ajaxKeys attribute of the rich:dataTable .
The ajaxKeys attribute is bound to Set <Integer> Object which holds the row numbers to be updated.
For example , suppose you want to invoke a Mbean method using a4j:commandButton and want to render a particular row and column after the action finishes . You can use the following :
<a4j:commandButton action="#{bean.someAction}" reRender="columnID,columnID2">
<f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{idx}" target="#{bean.selectedRow}" />
</a4j:commandButton>
<rich:dataTable id="myTable" value="#{bean.table}" var="me" ajaxKeys="#{bean.rowsToUpdate}" rowKeyVar="idx">
<rich:column id="columnID">
<h:outputText value="#{me.id}" />
</rich:column>
<rich:column id="columnID2">
<h:outputText value="#{me.valueOne}" />
</rich:column>
<rich:column>
<h:outputText value="#{me.valueTwo}" />
</rich:column>
</rich:dataTable>
Inside the bean.someAction() , you add the row number that you want to update to the rowsToUpdate integer set:
HashSet<Integer> rows = new HashSet<Integer>();
rows.add(selectedRow);
setRowsToUpdate( rows );
