I have a <ui:repeat> that iterates over a List<String> and creates a <p:commandButton> with the value of the current String in a <p:lightBox>.
But when I add widgetVar to my <p:lightBox>'s attributes the value of the <p:commandButton> is always the String from the last iteration.
Can someone explain what happens and (as I need widgetVar) maybe point out a solution?
This is my html:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:head />
<h:body>
<ui:repeat var="thing" value="#{bugBean.things}">
<p:lightBox widgetVar="whatever">
<h:outputLink>
<h:outputText value="#{thing}" />
</h:outputLink>
<f:facet name="inline">
<h:form>
<p:commandButton action="#{bugBean.writeThing(thing)}"
value="#{thing}" />
</h:form>
</f:facet>
</p:lightBox>
</ui:repeat>
</h:body>
</html>
This is the backing bean:
package huhu.main.managebean;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped;
import javax.inject.Named;
@Named
@SessionScoped
public class BugBean implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
List<String> things = new ArrayList<String>();
public BugBean(){
things.add("First");
things.add("Second");
things.add("Third");
}
public void writeThing(String thing){
System.out.println(thing);
}
public List<String> getThings() {
return things;
}
public void setThings(List<String> things) {
this.things = things;
}
}
