I finally got this to work:

javax.el.PropertyNotWritableException: /WEB-INF/layout/header.xhtml @24,56 binding="#{webmenu.myBar}": Property 'myBar' is not writable on type: WebMenu

Instead of using the actionListener on the menu item, I would like to programtically add this fragment

<h:commandLink>
 <f:param></f:param>
</h:commandLink>

Hi, after i read the posting here, i got the idea how to create dynamic sub menu. What about the main one? i dont know if i misunderstand the idea here.

i will take the browser menu as example.
Let say i got "File", "Edit", "View" menu.
the example only able to dynamically create the item under the "File".
If i wan to add a menu after "View", let say is "Favorites", how to i create it programmically?

The example has:

public org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlDropDownMenu getMyMenu()

If you want to build the whole thing then you need to start like this:

public org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlToolBar getMyBar()
{
 org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlToolBar bar = new org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlToolBar();

 org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlDropDownMenu ddm = new org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlDropDownMenu();

 /* Add you sub-menu here */

 bar.getChildren().add( ddm );

 return( bar );
}

Thanks mores. it works perfectly.

i got another question. Now the toolbar display as horizontally. How can i do vertical dynamic menu bar?

i got the solution by binding the value to panelGrid.. but it doesnt look as nice as toolbar.

just re-use our styles ;) You may explore the classes for the toolBar via fireBug.

I'm making a project implementing Seam, and I want generate a dynamic menu from a database using richfaces ¿Can somebody give me links o example code to see how this works? or ¿Where can i find the full source code to do a dynamic drop down menu using richfaces?

there example pieces was listed. If you need more - you need to start with binding itself exploration.

Hi,

After update the jars to richfaces 3.2.0, my dinamic dropdown menu stop work.

Ex:

<rich:toolBar>
<rich:dropDownMenu binding="#{Page4.menuTeste}" />
</rich:toolBar>


And the backing bean:

private HtmlDropDownMenu menuTeste = new HtmlDropDownMenu();

public HtmlDropDownMenu getMenuTeste() {
menuTeste.setValue("Menu teste");
HtmlMenuItem menuItem = new HtmlMenuItem();
menuItem.setValue("Item 1");
menuItem.setSubmitMode("ajax");
menuTeste.getChildren().add(menuItem);

return menuTeste;
}

public void setMenuTeste(HtmlDropDownMenu menuTeste) {
this.menuTeste = menuTeste;
}



In previous version it works fine...

known issue. It's one of the first candidates to 3.2.0 SP1

Hi I'm struggling to register an action with a dynamically created context menu. My context menu is displaying just fine, but when I select an item from it on the next request to the server I get an exception indicating that my seam bean cannot be found. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, I've burned alot of time on it to no avail yet.

My java code to create the context menu is as follows:

@Name("linkedDocsBean")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class LinkedDocumentsManagementBean implements Serializable {

...

public ContextMenu getContextMenu() {
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ELContext el = fc.getELContext();

ContextMenu menu = new ContextMenu();
menu.setEvent("onclick");
for (DocumentType documentType : getOtherDocumentTypes()) {
HtmlMenuGroup group = new HtmlMenuGroup();
group.setValue(documentType.getName());
for (DocumentTypeIndex docTypeIndex : documentType.getDocumentTypeIndexList()) {
HtmlMenuItem item = new HtmlMenuItem();
item.setValue(docTypeIndex.getIndex().getName());

MethodExpression me = fc.getApplication().getExpressionFactory().createMethodExpression(
el, "#{linkedDocsBean.onIndexSelected()}", null, new Class[] {});
item.setActionExpression(me);

group.getChildren().add(item);
}
menu.getChildren().add(group);
}

return menu;
}

public void onIndexSelected() {
System.out.println("event");
}
...

}


My context menu is linked like so:

<h:outputLink value="#">
add link
<rich:contextMenu binding="#{linkedDocsBean.contextMenu}" >
</rich:contextMenu>
</h:outputLink>

I'm getting the following exception:

javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: /pages/category/linkedDocumentTypeForm.xhtml @52,65 binding="#{linkedDocsBean.contextMenu}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'linkedDocsBean' resolved to null

I finally got this to work:

<rich:dropDownMenu binding="#{webmenu.myMenu}" >
</rich:dropDownMenu>

public class WebMenu
{
 private static org.slf4j.Logger _log = org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getLogger( WebMenu.class );

 private String lastItem = "None";

 public org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlDropDownMenu getMyMenu()
 {
 _log.trace( "Creating menu" );

 org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlDropDownMenu menu =
 new org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlDropDownMenu();
 menu.setValue( "Security Actions" );

 org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlMenuItem menuItem =
 new org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlMenuItem();
 String subOption = "Sec. Change Passsword";
 menuItem.setValue( subOption );

 javax.faces.application.Application app =
 javax.faces.context.FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication();
 javax.faces.el.MethodBinding mb = app.createMethodBinding( "#{webmenu.onItemClick}", new Class[] { javax.faces.event.ActionEvent.class } );
 menuItem.setActionListener( mb );

 menu.getChildren().add( menuItem );
 return( menu );
 }

 public void onItemClick( javax.faces.event.ActionEvent event )
 {
 Object obj = event.getSource();

 if( obj instanceof org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlMenuItem )
 {
 org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlMenuItem item =
 (org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlMenuItem)obj;
 if( item != null )
 {
 lastItem = item.getValue().toString();
 _log.trace( "Clicked On: " + lastItem );
 }
 }
 }
}

They key is to use actionListener and NOT action. These posts helped:

Hi,

How can I send a value to the menu action method (otherbean.action in above example) so that I know which menu item was clicked on.

Thanks
