HI All,
I am desperately looking for the assistance on adding and removing the fields and rows using JSF. I am using ICE Faces for the rich UI look. The following is my problem:
I have to add one text box and two buttons (+) and (-) in a row.
When user clicks on the + button, one new row should be added with the above components.
When user clicks on the - button, the corresponding row should be removed from the display.
I am able to add the individual components like text box and remove it. But, here my challenging point is to add and remove as a row. How would I remove that specific row (instance) from the UI View Root.
I have tried several times, but till now I could not find a solution. Please suggest me the possible solutions.
Thanks in advance,
Krishna
Rather use a h:dataTable (or the IceFaces equivalent ice:dataTable) which is backed by a List<Data> contining objects which each represents the data of a single row. On Add just add a new Data item to the list. On Remove just remove the selected Data item from the list.

I am using Vaadin8 Grid with Multi Selection. I want to implement an option to hide a row or unhide row in the Grid.
Has any one already implemented this feature? Appreciate if i get some pointers on how to implement it feature.
TIA
The correct way to implement selective display Grid rows is to use Filtering in DataProvider For example the ListDataProvider, which is used by Grid has API's for filtering. So items passing the filters are shown, and those which are not passing the filters are not shown.
There is another question about Filtering with Grid here at StackOverflow: How to add grid filters in Vaadin 8? Which has code example of filtering. Usually Lambda expressions are used as filters. You can create custom filters. For example in your case you could have list of ids in the filter, and filter out rows that match those ids.
I've been using a ComboBox to store some values and make a selection from those values, but the problem is, ComboBox, as it is, only allows one selection at the time and I need multiple selections, ie checkboxes, but that cannot be done via Vaadin. I figured if I could present checkboxes as the elements of the ComboBox, that would solve the issue, except adding components to a component that is not a layout doesn't seem to be possible.
I've done this tutorial https://vaadin.com/docs/-/part/framework/components/components-customcomponent.html
Basically it combines two Vaadin components into one panel and displays them together, but that's not what I need, as I need certain components to be placed inside a parent component.
So what are my options if I'm to do this?
This is not an answer to the question that you are asking (component within a component), but rather the underlying problem that you present. In other words, I believe your question is an example of an XY problem.
I think you want to use a Grid with multi-select turned on. In this mode, check boxes are automatically added to each row and there is a checkbox in the header to allow toggling all on/off, ability to filter, ability to sort columns, etc. See the documentation for more details.
My target is to display an abbreviation list with two entries per line: the abbreviation and the corresponding long version. For a nice layout I used a GridPane because of the vertical alignment over all entries - it's nice to read.
But I also want to scroll to the clicked abbreviation and set the focus on it like in a ListView version of it.
For example the # on page links in good old HTML. Is there another javafx layout element I miss to achieve this?
I don't believe there is a provided control that will work for the specific scenario you are describing. However, I think one of these options might work for you...
Use the TableView control and add two columns for the information you want to show (one for the abbreviation and another for the long version). TableViews also have the scrollTo and setFocus functionality you're looking for. Here is a good resource to get you started with the Tableview control. You can also style the Tableview with CSS to look less like a table and more like a list if thats what your intention is.
The second option is to set a custom cell factory on your ListView that builds custom cells using HBoxes, VBoxes, Labels, etc. to achieve your desired look. You would also want to use the cell factory to populate each ListView cell with an object that contains both the abbreviated text and long version text. A couple good resources, 1, 2
Although I think both option will work fine, I would suggest option 1 since in option 2 you are sort of building a table type structure anyway. I hope this is helpful!
I have list of rows displayed on the screen. These rows are iterated using the JSF datatable component. Now my requirement is to edit any particular row which user clicked.
Is there any way to make the fields editable while user clicking the row. Then user will fill the details and save it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Creating editable data tables is very easy with jsf. Here is a good tutorial on this. But "making it editable when user clicks on it" is not supported out of the box. And this is where JSF shines, you just need to find for a JSF component (open source or commercial) compatible with your JSF (1.x or 2.x) version and start using it.
My first suggestion for you is to check and see if PrimeFaces provides this kind of component. Here is the component you are looking for.
I am trying to filter a list that is placed into a listview through the use of 2 drop down boxes.
The first dropdown box is titled price and the second is owner.
I want to be able to select a value in one or more of these drop down boxes and then have the List view re-render with the filtered results.
The trouble is I do not know how to begin this task, would someone be so kind as to enlighten me :D
Thanks in advance!
Your best starting point is probably this example: (Source code also available on this page, ChoicePage.java is the name)
First of all, you have to use a dynamic model in your ListView that generates the list of items depending on what you had selected in the dropdown boxes.
Then the basic idea is that you add an AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior to the components that control the updates (your two dropdown boxes in your case), and in the onUpdate() method of this behaviour you should add the component you want to update to that AjaxRequestTarget passed.
