Question

I'm creating a keyboard (composite component) with some specific symbols that the user will be able to insert in text fields. I need to define two components as the keyboard's attributes, p:inputText and p:inputTextarea, to set to these inputs' values the symbol selected by the user.The problem is that I can't use a component as the keyboard attribute, it is not working. In my index.xhtml file, how do I pass the inputText? Index:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

    <ui:define name="content">


        <p:inputText widgetVar="asd" id="asd" value="#{disciplineController.discipline.description}"/>
        <pe:keyboard textField="asd"/>

<!-- How do I pass the p:inputText as attribute? 
Already tried <pe:keyboard textField="#{asd}"/>, it gets null
-->


    </ui:define>
</ui:composition>

Keyboard 

<composite:interface componentType="keyboardComponentBean">
    <composite:attribute name="textField" type="org.primefaces.component.inputtext.InputText"></composite:attribute>
    <composite:attribute name="textFieldArea" type="org.primefaces.component.inputtextarea.InputTextarea"></composite:attribute>
</composite:interface>

<composite:implementation>
    <h:form>
            <ui:repeat value="#{cc.attrs.SYMBOL_ARRAY}" var="symbol">
            <ui:fragment rendered="#{symbol == cc.attrs.SYMBOL_ARRAY[0]}"> Conjuntos <br /></ui:fragment>
            <ui:fragment rendered="#{symbol == cc.attrs.SYMBOL_ARRAY[11]}"> <br />Símbolos <br /></ui:fragment>
            <ui:fragment rendered="#{symbol == cc.attrs.SYMBOL_ARRAY[24]}"> <br />Subscrito <br /></ui:fragment>
            <ui:fragment rendered="#{symbol == cc.attrs.SYMBOL_ARRAY[39]}"> <br />Sobrescrito <br /></ui:fragment>
            <ui:fragment rendered="#{symbol == cc.attrs.SYMBOL_ARRAY[55]}"> <br />Grego (maiúsculo) <br /></ui:fragment>
            <ui:fragment rendered="#{symbol == cc.attrs.SYMBOL_ARRAY[65]}"> <br />Grego (minúsculo) <br /></ui:fragment>
            <ui:fragment rendered="#{symbol == cc.attrs.SYMBOL_ARRAY[81]}"> <br />Setas <br /></ui:fragment>
            <p:commandButton value="#{symbol}" action="#{cc.addText(symbol)}" />
            </ui:repeat>
    </h:form>
</composite:implementation>
</html>

FacesComponent:

package br.com.portal.education.Timer;

import javax.faces.component.FacesComponent;
import javax.faces.component.UINamingContainer;

import org.primefaces.component.inputtext.InputText;
import org.primefaces.component.inputtextarea.InputTextarea;

@FacesComponent("keyboardComponentBean")
public class Keyboard extends UINamingContainer {

    private final String[] SYMBOL_ARRAY = {..símbolos..};

    public String[] getSYMBOL_ARRAY() {
        return SYMBOL_ARRAY;
    }

    public void addText(String symbol) {
        Object textField = getAttributes().get("textField");
        Object textFieldArea = getAttributes().get("textFieldArea");
            if (textField != null){
                ((InputText) textField).setValue(((InputText) textField).getValue() + symbol);
            }

            if (textFieldArea != null){
            ((InputTextarea) textFieldArea).setValue(((InputTextarea) textFieldArea).getValue() + symbol);
        }
    }
}
Was it helpful?

Solution

You can bind your input component to an EL expression:

<p:inputText widgetVar="asd" id="asd" binding="#{bindedAsd}" value="#{disciplineController.discipline.description}"/>

This way you can use it as an attribute:

<pe:keyboard textField="#{bindedAsd}" />
