public abstract class TableRowGroupBase

extends javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase

Use the ui:tableRowGroup tag to define the rows of a table, inside a ui:table tag. A table must include at least one tableRowGroup component to contain the table row content.

The ui:table tag is used to define the structure and actions of the table, and is a container for ui:tableRowGroup tags. The ui:tableRowGroup tag is a container for ui:tableColumn tags, which are used to define the columns of the table. The documentation for the ui:table tag contains detailed information about the table component. This page provides details about how to create table rows only.

When you use one ui:tableRowGroup tag in the ui:table tag, you create a basic table. Examples of basic tables are shown in the ui:table tag documentation. When you use multiple ui:tableRowGroup tags, you create a group table, which is discussed in detail in this document.

HTML Elements and Layout

The tableRowGroup component is used to define attributes for XHTML <tr> elements, which are used to display rows of data. You can specify multiple ui:tableRowGroup tags to create groups of rows. Each group is visually separate from the other groups, but all rows of the table can be sorted and filtered at once, within their respective groups.

UI guidelines recommend that column headers and table column footers are only rendered once for each table. Column headers typically appear at the top of the table, below the Action Bar and above all row groups. Table column footers appear only at the bottom of the table, below all row groups. The column headers and table column footers are defined in the headerText and tableFooterText attributes of the ui:tableColumn tags. To ensure that these headers and footers are rendered only once, you should define the headerText and tableFooterText attributes only in the ui:tableColumn tags inside the first ui:tableRowGroup tag in the table. See the ui:tableColumn documentation for more information.

The following diagram shows the placement of the areas of a table, and highlights the areas that are defined with ui:tableRowGroup tags. This diagram depicts two row groups.

Footer

Group Header Bar

The Group Header Bar displays a header by default at the top of each group of rows. The text of the group header is specified with the headerText attribute. You can specify a separate component to provide header content by using the header facet, which overrides the headerText attribute. You can use the following ui:tableRowGroup attributes to change the appearance of the group header:

• aboveColumnHeader set to true makes the group header display above the column header.

• selectMultipleToggleButton set to true adds a checkbox that allows users to select and deselect all rows in the group

• collapsed set to true causes the group to be rendered with the rows hidden, and only the group header is visible.

• groupToggleButton set to true adds a button image that allows users to expand and collapse the group of rows. When the group collapses, all the rows are hidden and only the header is visible.

• extraHeaderHtml can be used to append HTML code to the <tr> element that is rendered for the group header

Note: Detailed descriptions of the attributes are in the attributes table at the end of this document.

Group Footer Bar

The Group Footer Bar displays an optional footer below each group of rows. The text of the group footer is specified with the footerText attribute. You can specify a separate component to provide the footer content by using the footer facet, which overrides the footerText attribute. You can use the following ui:tableRowGroup attributes to change the appearance of the group footer:



• aboveColumnFooter set to true makes the group footer display above the column footer.

• extraFooterHtml can be used to append HTML code to the <tr> element that is rendered for the group footer

Table Data

The table data is specified with the sourceData and sourceVar attributes. The sourceData attribute specifies the source of the data that populates the table. The sourceVar attribute specifies the name of the request-scope variable to use for exposing the model data when iterating over table rows. Each table in a JSP page must use a unique sourceVar value. See the Life Cycle section for more information about these attributes.

Facets

The ui:tableRowGroup tag supports the following facets, which allow you to customize the layout of the component.

Facet Name	Table Item Implemented by the Facet
footer	Footer that applies to the group of rows defined by the ui:tableRowGroup tag. This facet can be used to replace the default footer.
header	Header that applies to the group of rows defined by the ui:tableRowGroup tag. This facet can be used to replace the default header.

Client Side JavaScript Functions

See the ui:table tag's JavaScript documentation. The same functions are used for the ui:tableRowGroup tag.

Notes for the ui:tableRowGroup tag

All examples assume that the ui:table tag is contained within a HTML <form> element so actions can submit form data. For basic table and sort examples, see the ui:table tag documentation and ui:tableColumn documentation.

Life Cycle

The sourceData property of tableRowGroup is invoked at least twice during the JavaServer Faces life cycle. The sourceData is invoked once during one of the Apply Request Values, Process Validations, or Update Model Values phases, and once during the Render Response phase. In order to process the previously displayed children during the Apply Request Values, Process Validations, or Update Model Values phases, the table must use the same DataProvider that was used to render the previous page. For example, suppose that sorting, filtering, and pagination were applied on the previous page, and rows 10-20 of 1000 were currently displayed. You want to update only the currently displayed components, rows 10-20. To do this, you must not update the DataProvider until the Invoke Application phase or Render Response phases, when it is safe to render new data.

Note that if the underlying DataProvider has changed in any way, processing of the previously displayed children might not be possible during the Apply Request Values, Process Validations, or Update Model Values phases. In addition, if the DataProvider is null or empty, no children will be processed and their processDecodes(), processValidators(), and processUpdates() methods will not be invoked. If a component has not been decoded (in the Apply Request Values phase), action events might not be received and component properties such as hyperlink query parameters cannot be retrieved. Also, if a component has not been updated (in the Update Model Values phase), submitted values cannot be retrieved for checkboxes, radio buttons, etc.

When obtaining data is expensive, consider caching the DataProvider. A cached DataProvider persists across requests if the backing bean uses session scope, or if the application uses server-side state saving and the TableRowGroup.setSourceData method is set. Note that a phase listener may be used to initialize the DataProvider during the Invoke Application Phase. However, when the underlying DataProvider has changed in any way, UI guidelines recommend that pagination is reset to the first page. You can use the tableRowGroup component's setFirst() method to set the first row to be displayed.

Examples

The following examples use a backing bean called TableBean, which is shown in the ui:table tag documentation. Utility classes used in the examples are included in this ui:tableRowGroup page, after the examples. Additional examples are shown in the ui:table and ui:tableColumn documents.

Utility classes used in the examples

Example 1: Group Table

This example shows how to create a group table. A group table contains rows of data that are arranged in discrete sections or groups within the table. In a basic table, each column typically has a header and perhaps a footer. However, in a group table, each group of rows can have its own header and footer. In addition, a group table can display table column footers and an overall table footer below all data groups. The table column footers are specified in ui:tableColumn tags and the overall footer is specified in the ui:table tag. See the diagram of the table areas.

Additional attributes should be used in the ui:tableColumn tags within each ui:tableRowGroup tag to specify functionality. For example, the selectId and sort attributes allow column headers to sort on all row groups at once.

The example uses the backing bean called TableBean for the table data. See the TableBean backing bean in ui:table documentation.

Note: UI guidelines recommend that items should not remain selected when they cannot be seen by the user. Using the com.sun.rave.web.ui.event.TableSelectPhaseListener object ensures that rows that are hidden from view are deselected because the phase listener clears the table state after the rendering phase. Although pagination is not used for a group table, the TableSelectPhaseListener object is used in this example in the Select util, which is shown in Select.java in the ui:table documentation. Also refer to the JavaDoc for TableSelectPhaseListener for more information.

select.js

This example shows the contents of the select.js file used in the example above.

// Use this function to initialize all rows displayed in the table when the
// state of selected components change (i.e., checkboxes or radiobuttons used to
// de/select rows of the table). This functionality requires the selectId
// property of the tableColumn component to be set.
//
// Note: Use setTimeout when invoking this function. This will ensure that
// checkboxes and radiobutton are selected immediately, instead of waiting for
// the onClick event to complete. For example:
//
// onClick="setTimeout('initAllRows(); disableActions()', 0)"
function initAllRows() {
// Disable table actions by default.
var table = document.getElementById("form1:table1");
table.initAllRows();
}

Example 2: Dynamic Table

This example shows how to use the ui:table tag to create a binding to a backing bean to dynamically create a table layout. The dynamic table is created as needed and can be changed each time the page is rendered.

<ui:table id="table1" binding="#{DynamicTableBean.table}"/>


The backing bean, DynamicTableBean, is shown in the following DynamicTableBean.java class. This bean is used only to create the table layout, and shows how to use the tableRowGroup component directly through Java code instead of through the JSP tag ui:tableRowGroup. The Dynamic.java utility class provides the functionality for adding properties to the table. The table also uses methods that are defined in the TableBean shown in the ui:table documentation.

DynamicTableBean.java Backing Bean

package table;

import com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.Table;
import com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.TableRowGroup;

import table.util.Dynamic;

// Backing bean for dynamic table examples.
//
// Note: To simplify the example, this bean is used only to create the table
// layout. The resulting table will use methods already defined in TableBean.
public class DynamicTableBean {
private Dynamic dynamic = null; // Dynamic util.
private Table table = null; // Table component.

// Default constructor.
public DynamicTableBean() {
dynamic = new Dynamic();
}

// Get Table component.
public Table getTable() {
if (table == null) {
// Get table row group.
TableRowGroup rowGroup1 = dynamic.getTableRowGroup("rowGroup1",
"#{TableBean.groupB.names}",
"#{TableBean.groupB.select.selectedState}", null);

// Set table row group properties.
dynamic.setTableRowGroupChildren(rowGroup1,
"#{TableBean.groupB.select.selectedState}",
"#{TableBean.groupB.select.selected}",
"#{TableBean.groupB.select.selectedValue}",
"#{TableBean.groupB.actions.action}", true);

// Get table.
table = dynamic.getTable("table1", "Dynamic Table");
table.getChildren().add(rowGroup1);
}
return table;
}

// Set Table component.
//
// @param table The Table component.
public void setTable(Table table) {
this.table = table;
}
}

Example 3: Dynamic Group Table

This example shows how to use the ui:table tag to create a binding to a backing bean to dynamically create a group table layout. The dynamic group table is created as needed and can be changed each time the page is rendered.

<ui:table id="table1" binding="#{DynamicGroupTableBean.table}"/>

The backing bean, DynamicGroupTableBean, is shown in the following DynamicGroupTableBean.java class. This bean is used only to create the table layout, and shows how to use the tableRowGroup component directly through Java code instead of through the JSP tag ui:tableRowGroup. The Dynamic.java utility class provides the functionality for adding properties to the table. The table also uses methods that are defined in the TableBean shown in the ui:table documentation.

DynamicGroupTableBean.java Backing Bean

package table;

import table.util.Dynamic;

import com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.StaticText;
import com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.Table;
import com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.TableRowGroup;

// Backing bean for dynamic group table examples.
//
// Note: To simplify the example, this bean is used only to create the table
// layout. The resulting table will use methods already defined in TableBean.
public class DynamicGroupTableBean {
private Dynamic dynamic = null; // Dynamic util.
private Table table = null; // Table component.

// Default constructor.
public DynamicGroupTableBean() {
dynamic = new Dynamic();
}

// Get Table component.
public Table getTable() {
if (table == null) {
// Get table row group.
TableRowGroup rowGroup1 = dynamic.getTableRowGroup("rowGroup1",
"#{TableBean.groupB.names}",
"#{TableBean.groupB.select.selectedState}",
"Group Header");
TableRowGroup rowGroup2 = dynamic.getTableRowGroup("rowGroup2",
"#{TableBean.groupC.names}",
"#{TableBean.groupC.select.selectedState}",
"Group Header");

// Set table row group properties.
dynamic.setTableRowGroupChildren(rowGroup1,
"#{TableBean.groupB.select.selectedState}",
"#{TableBean.groupB.select.selected}",
"#{TableBean.groupB.select.selectedValue}", null, true);
dynamic.setTableRowGroupChildren(rowGroup2,
"#{TableBean.groupC.select.selectedState}",
"#{TableBean.groupC.select.selected}",
"#{TableBean.groupC.select.selectedValue}", null, false);

// Set select and row group toggle buttons.
rowGroup1.setSelectMultipleToggleButton(true);
rowGroup2.setSelectMultipleToggleButton(true);
rowGroup1.setGroupToggleButton(true);
rowGroup2.setGroupToggleButton(true);

// Get table.
table = dynamic.getTable("table1", null);
table.getChildren().add(rowGroup1);
table.getChildren().add(rowGroup2);

// Add title facet.
StaticText title = new StaticText();
title.setText("Dynamic Group Table");
table.getFacets().put(Table.TITLE_FACET, title);
}
return table;
}

// Set Table component.
//
// @param table The Table component.
public void setTable(Table table) {
this.table = table;
}
}
