List contains method not working in JSF page - list

I have two list that consist out of the same object.
I want to check if the first list containts an object of the second list
<ui:repeat var="item" value="#{userTypeController.permissionItems}">
<c:if test="#{userTypeController.permissionItemsUserType.contains(item)}">
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{true}"/>
<h:outputText value="#{item.getAction()}" />
</c:if>
<c:if test="#{!userTypeController.permissionItemsUserType.contains(item)}">
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{false}"/>
<h:outputText value="#{item.getAction()}" />
</c:if>
</ui:repeat>
but this doesn't seem to work and all I'm getting is false.
I've changed the equals and hashcode methodes but didn't help.

JSTL tags like <c:if> runs during view build time and the result is JSF components only. JSF components runs during view render time and the result is HTML only. They do not run in sync. JSTL tags runs from top to bottom first and then JSF components runs from top to bottom.
In your case, when JSTL tags runs, there's no means of #{item} anywhere, because it's been definied by a JSF component, so it'll for JSTL always be evaluated as if it is null. You need to use JSF components instead. In your particular case a <h:panelGroup rendered> should do it:
<ui:repeat var="item" value="#{userTypeController.permissionItems}">
<h:panelGroup rendered="#{userTypeController.permissionItemsUserType.contains(item)}">
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{true}"/>
<h:outputText value="#{item.getAction()}" />
</h:panelGroup>
<h:panelGroup rendered="#{!userTypeController.permissionItemsUserType.contains(item)}">
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{false}"/>
<h:outputText value="#{item.getAction()}" />
</h:panelGroup>
</ui:repeat>

How can I get an element from within a ListViewItem's ItemTemplate?

I have a ListView that uses a custom ItemTemplate (doesn't everyone?):
<ListView>
<!-- ... -->
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:DataType="x:String">
<MyGreatControl Thing="{x:Bind}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
MyGreatControl today has extensive keyboard handling code built-in, but due to some refactoring, I need to move the actual handlers to the ListView itself. However, I don't want to move all of the code in MyGreatControl to the ListView (for many reasons).
If I have an arbitrary ListViewItem (which, for example, I can get from an event handler), how can I access the MyGreatControl instance in its DataTemplate?
MyGreatControl^ GetMyGreatControlFromListViewItem(ListViewItem^ listViewItem) {
// ???
}
Disclaimer: I work for Microsoft.
You want to use ContentTemplateRoot!
MyGreatControl^ GetMyGreatControlFromListViewItem(ListViewItem^ listViewItem) {
return safe_cast<MyGreatControl^>(listViewItem->ContentTemplateRoot);
}
This also works for any arbitrary element—if you have a StackPanel, for example, ContentTemplateRoot will return the StackPanel instance you want:
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:DataType="x:String">
<StackPanel><!-- This is what you get! -->
<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind}" />
<Button Content="Foo" IsTabStop="False" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
You can then use normal visual tree navigation to find Children, etc.

Why h:selectBooleanCheckbox not is updated? [duplicate]

Here is the scenario (simplified):
There is a bean (call it mrBean) with a member and the appropriate getters/setters:
private List<String> rootContext;
public void addContextItem() {
rootContext.add("");
}
The JSF code:
<h:form id="a_form">
<ui:repeat value="#{mrBean.stringList}" var="stringItem">
<h:inputText value="#{stringItem}" />
</ui:repeat>
<h:commandButton value="Add" action="#{mrBean.addContextItem}">
<f:ajax render="#form" execute="#form"></f:ajax>
</h:commandButton>
</h:form>
The problem is, when clicking the "Add" button, the values that were entered in the <h:inputText/> that represent the Strings in the stringList aren't executed.
Actually, the mrBean.stringList setter (setStringList(List<String> stringList)) is never called.
Any idea why?
Some info -
I'm using MyFaces JSF 2.0 on Tomcat 6.
The String class is immutable and doesn't have a setter for the value. The getter is basically the Object#toString() method.
You need to get/set the value directly on the List instead. You can do that by the list index which is available by <ui:repeat varStatus>.
<ui:repeat value="#{mrBean.stringList}" varStatus="loop">
<h:inputText value="#{mrBean.stringList[loop.index]}" />
</ui:repeat>
You don't need a setter for the stringList either. EL will get the item by List#get(index) and set the item by List#add(index,item).

TFS 2013 Bug Work Item Template: Hide and Un-Hide Fields Based on Another Field's Value for Additional Input Parameters

I am in the process of updating my Bug template in TFS 2013 via the Process Editor tool in Visual Studio.
I'm attempting to only display an additional field when a specific choice is selected from one of the drop-down menus. We require individuals filing bugs to select the environment in which the bug was found, i.e., Development, Test, Staging, Production. I want an additional string field to display when "Production" is selected from the Environment drop-down menu. I also want this field to be required when "Production" is selected before the item can be saved.
I'm sure this is easy to do, but, I just can't figure it out.
Any help would be fantastic, thank you!
You can have the XML of Environment field looks like:
<FieldDefinition name="EnvironmentCustom" refname="env.field" type="String">
<ALLOWEDVALUES expanditems="true">
<LISTITEM value="Development" />
<LISTITEM value="Test" />
<LISTITEM value="Staging" />
<LISTITEM value="Production" />
</ALLOWEDVALUES>
</FieldDefinition>
And make the XML of additional field looks like:
<FieldDefinition name="VarCustom" refname="var.field" type="String">
<WHEN field="env.field" value="Production">
<REQUIRED />
<ALLOWEDVALUES expanditems="true">
<LISTITEM value="good" />
<LISTITEM value="bad" />
</ALLOWEDVALUES>
</WHEN>
</FieldDefinition>
In this way, you'll see Environment field has a drop down with values "Development", "Test", "Staging", "Production", and additional field has a drop down with values "good", "bad". Once you select "Production" in Environment field, the additional field will become Required, you'll have to select a vlue for additional field before saving this work item type.
Adding:
If you don't want to a drop down under the additional field, you can remove the ALLOWEDVALUES rule, then you can type any string in it. The XML looks like:
<FieldDefinition name="VarCustom" refname="var.field" type="String">
<WHEN field="env.field" value="Production">
<REQUIRED />
</WHEN>
</FieldDefinition>
It's not able to hide/un-hide VarCustom field by using Rules, you need to customize your own work item control to achieve your requirement. You can check the links and examples about custom work item control at website below:

Add extended Scroller to extended spark List in Flex

I'm trying to add a custom Scroller.as (extended from spark.components.Scroller) to a InfiniteScrollList.as (extended from spark.components.list)
I wrote the following MXML code:
<list:InfiniteScrollList width="100%" height="100%" id="EventsList" useVirtualLayout="true">
<list:scroller>
<list:Scroller/> <!-- The Scroller.as Class -->
</list:scroller>
</list:InfiniteScrollList>
The List behavior works well but the extended Scroller component does not function at all.
What is the correct way to add this scroller functionality (in MXML or ActionScript) to the list?
The s:Scroller is used by wrapping it around the content or DataGroup. But the List class wraps all that functionality inside of it's skin, so I believe that in order to create a custom Scroller for a List, you actually need to do within the SkinClass.
<list:InfiniteScrollList width="100%" height="100%" id="EventsList"
useVirtualLayout="true" skinClass="MyListSkin" />
MyListSkin.mxml:
<s:SparkSkin xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:fb="http://ns.adobe.com/flashbuilder/2009" minWidth="112">
<fx:Metadata>
[HostComponent("spark.components.Scroller")]
</fx:Metadata>
<s:states>
<s:State name="normal" />
<s:State name="disabled" />
</s:states>
<!-- The Scroller.as Class -->
<list:Scroller left="0" top="0" right="0" bottom="0" id="scroller" hasFocusableChildren="false">
<!--- #copy spark.components.SkinnableDataContainer#dataGroup -->
<s:DataGroup id="dataGroup" itemRenderer="spark.skins.spark.DefaultItemRenderer">
<s:layout>
<!--- The default layout is vertical and measures at least for 5 rows.
When switching to a different layout, HorizontalLayout for example,
make sure to adjust the minWidth, minHeight sizes of the skin -->
<s:VerticalLayout gap="0" horizontalAlign="contentJustify" requestedMinRowCount="5" />
</s:layout>
</s:DataGroup>
</list:Scroller/>
</s:SparkSkin>

JSF 2.0 validateRegex with own validator message

i am having a code similar to this:
<h:inputText id="email" value="#{managePasswordBean.forgotPasswordEmail}"
validatorMessage="#{validate['constraints.email.notValidMessage']}"
requiredMessage="#{validate['constraints.email.emptyMessage']}"
validator="#{managePasswordBean.validateForgotPasswordEmail}"
required="true">
<f:validateRegex pattern="^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*#[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,6})$" />
</h:inputText>
The validator in the backing bean has its own validation message generated. but it is overwritten by the validatorMessage of the inputText tag.
My Question is: how can i define a custom validator message for the validateRegex tag? I don't want to remove the validatorMessage cause then JSF is displaying an own error message containing the regex pattern and so on -> which i dont find very pretty.
Thanks for the help :)
You can't define a separate validatorMessage for each individual validator. Best what you can do is to do the regex validation in your custom validator as well, so that you can remove the validatorMessage.
Update: since version 1.3, the <o:validator> component of the JSF utility library OmniFaces allows you to set the validator message on a per-validator basis. Your particular case can then be solved as follows:
<h:inputText id="email" value="#{managePasswordBean.forgotPasswordEmail}"
required="true" requiredMessage="#{validate['constraints.email.emptyMessage']}">
<o:validator binding="#{managePasswordBean.validateForgotPasswordEmail}" message="#{validate['constraints.email.notValidMessage']}" />
<o:validator validatorId="javax.faces.RegularExpression" pattern="^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*#[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,6})$" message="Your new custom message here" />
</h:inputText>
Unrelated to the concrete problem: these days you would be not ready for world domination as long as you still validate email addresses based on Latin characters. See also Email validation using regular expression in JSF 2 / PrimeFaces.
This worked for me.
You can write your custom messages in "validatorMessage"
<h:form id="form">
<h:outputLabel for="name">Name :</h:outputLabel>
<h:inputText id="name" value="#{editStock.name}" required="true" requiredMessage="Name field must not be empty" validatorMessage="Your name can have only Alphabets">
<f:validateRegex pattern="^[a-zA-Z]*$" />
</h:inputText><br/>
<h:message for="name" style="color:red" />
<h:commandButton value="Update" action="#{stock.update(editStock)}" style="width: 80px;"></h:commandButton>
</h:form>
