I'm currently learning the adf framework, and while doing this I found myself in a situation I am not able to solve.
I have a tree component that works fine. I also have different forms, corresponding to different levels of the tree. Rather than having all of the forms visible at one time, I would like to only show the one that corresponds to the selected item in the tree.
To solve this, I created af:switcher, created facets and moved the forms there. Here is where I am lost, how do I tell the switcher to change the form? I tried to link them together using the facetName on the switcher, but no success. I suspect I did not link the right thing there, but I could not find anything helpful from the tree either! I assume it has something to do with the selectionListener and a bean, but I could not figure out a way to do this. Any clues?

I would like to see visually how much space each box takes with as little effort/changes to the code as possible.
I would like to know if it's possible to just put a line around the outer margins of the View or ViewGroup object.
Since it's just for debugging and styling I would like to also quickly turn it off, so I do rather make the changes to my code in one place so it's easy and quick to undo. Is this a default option I am missing? Somehow I expect this feature to exist already.
Here someone asks a different but slightly related question with not a nice answer for my case.
Here someone gives an answer on how to outline one View.
Border for an Image view in Android?
Code-wise you could follow the answer to the first link you posted and create a drawable with the name "developer_borders" or something similar and apply it to every view you wish to have its borders visible.
To easily remove it afterwards, you can right-click the directory of your project and click Replace in Path.... For Text to find you want to search for android:background="#drawable/developer_borders and for Replace with don't use anything. This will find every occurrence of what you are searching and replace it with an empty string.
There might be an easier option. Some devices have quite powerful Developer Options. "Show layout bounds" is what you want but take a look at the rest while you are at it, some are pretty awesome.
I have a strange effect with a4j:repeat when using rich:toolbar in RichFaces. In my little example I just place a couple of icons on the toolbar. If I do it manually, they are all separately placed into <td>...</td>. But if let them generate by a list using a4j:repeat, they will all be placed together within one <td>...</td>.
The result of this is that those placed manually are more far from each other in the view. Those who were generated, stick together.
I believe the difference is, that the rich:toolbarGroup thinks of the a4j:repeat as one object, and of the manually placed ones as serveral objects.
I tried out with c:forEach as well, but I get exactly the same effect.
Does anyone know how to define the a4j:repeat objects as separate? Or if it is another problem, how to solve it?
If you're only worried about the spacing you can increase it by CSS.
<a4j:repeat> is not a good thing to use with the toolbar. If the icons you put in are supposed to have some sort of functionality attached to them you'd have a problem assigning it dynamically.
Hello there fellow SO members!
I am writing a plugin for a Eclipse RCP application, and when I am selecting a row from a TreeViewer its properties appear in the Properties View.
Initially I was looking for a way I could make certain properties read-only, and found this SO question.
Now what I am asking is, how can I make these properties grey? I ask this because I'd like it to be more evident that they are read-only.
Any help/opinions are appreciated.
If I look at the createItem method from the PropertySheetViewer (org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.PropertySheetViewer) , it doesn't look too good for you, I guess. The only attributes updated from the TreeItems are the text and the image. There is no coloring done based on any attribute.
Edit: You asked for suggestions too, so I should finish it correctly: If you look at Properties View, then its not more than a simple view with a two-column table, which is wired to the SelectionService. So, I guess with a little effort you may implement your own Properties view visualizing the current selection in a proper way.
I know that this question is being asked before but I did not get proper solution.
I read about outline but that was just opposite of what I want i.e. JTable inside JTree
I want to display data in a JTable but it is stored as different groups,so these groups
are node of JTree when I expend one group(node) the JTable of that group is shown.
I went through this article in oracle :Creating TreeTables in Swing:part 1
This was pretty old and not working on my version of java(I don't know why !),so I went
through the next part of TreeTable :Creating TreeTables in Swing: Part 2
The whole code was comparatively new, as it was using "javax.swing" in place of
"com.sun.java.swing" but the problem I faced here was one file named as
"FileSystemModel2.java" was missing it is modified from previous version so I can't work
with old one.There are some method added to new "FileSystemModel.java".How do I inform
them about this missing file or if you have different approach please let me know.
What I want to achieve is shown in picture below :
This image was from "LastPass" and I want to make my own password manager as my project
So please help me with this I am so close but yet I can't move further.
The SwingX project contains a ready-made TreeTable
http://swingx.java.net/
The downloads are a bit hard to find, so here is the link:
http://java.net/downloads/swingx/releases/1.6.2/
A short article about using that component can be found here:

I've got a blocking problem with the sorting functionality of a JTable; this made stall the development of the spare time open source project for 4 months now. Hope to be pointed into the right direction here.
Context: I'm working on extending the functionality of the ps3mediaserver to add a media library with pms-mlx. The UI of the media server has been done using swing.
Problem: When clicking on a column header in the JTable, a seemingly random column gets sorted instead of the one having been clicked.
Current implementation: Here's the description of the different components and classes being used for the implementation:
ETable: As alternate row colours aren't supported by default in the JTable, I've switched to the ETable extending the JTable. Source comes from here
FileDisplayTable: This is the class creating the table. In the init() method, the sorting is being enabled with 'table.setAutoCreateRowSorter(true);'
FileDisplayTableCellRenderer: Exists to always align cell content on the left
FileDisplayTableColumnModel: Does some mapping between internal types and column names
FileDisplayTableAdapter: This class implements com.jgoodies.binding.adapter.AbstractTableAdapter to map the objects with the table columns.
Possible solutions:
Preferably, I'd like to keep the current implementation and figure out how to correct the sorting, but I doubt someone can help me out with that!? Additionally their are some bits of code I had to add because of strange behaviours; they're commented in the code
The alternate option would be to change the JTable for another control altogether. I've made some research but didn't find the solution I was hoping for. The constraints are that
it must be embeddable in a swing UI
preferably it should support data bindings
support alternate row colours
row sorting
At some point it will be possible to open an editing dialogue, where the content of the row has to be retrieved, can be edited and when saved the row has to be updated.
Before reworking the entire thing I'd like to be sure the component will be able to handle all I want to do with it.
I'm more used to create GUIs using .NET in Visual Studio. It's quite different and a lot more difficult to do the same with swing. Please show me I'm wrong :)
[edit] If someone is willing to reproduce the problem, either get the source or the binaries, launch the application, navigate to the media library tab. In the Genral section import some videos by adding some video files. Go to the library section, click on apply to refresh the list and try to sort the table.
It may be useful to know that JTable columns can be dragged by the user. As a result, the view (JTable or a subclass) and model (an implementation of TableModel) may have different column numbers. Similarly, a RowSorter may affect the order or number of rows in the view as compared to the model. The related conversion methods are mentioned in How to Use Tables: Sorting and Filtering. In particular: "When using a sorter, always remember to translate cell coordinates."
Addendum: As an alternative, consider org.netbeans.swing.etable.ETable or it's subclass org.netbeans.swing.outline.Outline, depicted here.
