Command row action

Command row action

This component turns all the rows in a data table into h:commandLink tags. Clicking a row in the data table submits the containing form and if successful returns the page defined by the action associated with the tag.

Component at runtime

For each row, the column containing the row action contains: <span><input type="hidden"></span>

Properties and All Attributes views

The Properties view for a component shows the most common set of attributes you can set on a component, and, depending on the component, you might also see options for adding controls, actions, or other components. To open the Properties view, click

Window | Show View | Properties.

The All Attributes view shows a table of all the attributes you can set on a component, which includes those attributes you can access from the Properties view. To switch to the All Attributes view, click the
All Attributes icon in the upper right corner of the Properties view.

Attribute name

Description

accesskey

Specifies a single keyboard key as an access key. Pressing the specified access key at runtime gives focus to this component. Pressing ALT plus the specified access key at runtime gives focus to this component (or executes the component if it is a kind of button).

action

Specifies the value returned when the component is clicked. The value is passed to the default NavigationHandler, that then matches the value against a set of navigation rules defined in the application configuration file.

actionListener

An expression that points to a method with an ActionEvent argument and a
"void" return type.

binding

An expression that binds the component's instance (usually a user interface component) to a bean property (usually in the backing file).

id

Assigns a name to a component. Should be a unique name within a JSP.

immediate

If true, skip straight to render phase of life cycle.

rendered

Can be set to true or false:

false - Component will not be rendered to the browser at runtime.

true - Component will get rendered. This is the default value.
