[ADF] Having Difficult Time Figuring Out Using the af:selectInputText Tag
This is my first time using the ADF tags.
The <af:selectInputText> is an input component that can launch a dialog and automatically accept its return value.
My pop-up is a data table that provides "code" and "description". And the selection made will be return to the parent page and the "code" will be populated in the input field.
First, I tested if my data table can be constructed successfully. Yes, I am able to use the JSF <h:dataTable> tag to display without problem.
Second, I have adf-faces-api-10_1_3_0_4.jar and adf-faces-impl-10_1_3_0_4.jar in my WEB-INF/lib directory.
Third, my web.xml and faces-config.xml work well because I was able to render JSF tags.
Fourth, I have created the adf-faces-config.xml file with its contents directly copied from the ADF Configuration web site. The adf-faces-config.xml is placed together with the web.xml and faces-config.xml files.
Fifth, on top of my ***.jsp, I added
<%@ taglib uri="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/EA10" prefix="af" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/EA10/html" prefix="afh" %>
However, the IDE says that <af:selectInputText ...> is an unknown tag.
Besides, for the value of the "action" attribute of the <af:selectInputText ...>, what is supposed to be filled for the "dialog:?"
and the compiler starts complaining that the "value" attribute in my <h:dataTable ...> has no value! But, my <h:dataTable ....> worked well before I introduced ADF.
Here is my code in the ***.jsp:
<f:view>
<h:form>
<af:selectInputText label="Sex: " id="idInputText"
value="#{listOfValuesManagementBean.selectedGender}"
popupTitle="Sex Types"
action="dialog:?" windowWidth="300" windowHeight="200">
<h:dataTable id="gender" value="#{listOfValuesManagementBean.genderTypes}" var="genderType">
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Code"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{genderType.code}"/>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Description"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{genderType.description}"/>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
</af:selectInputText>
</h:form>
</f:view>
