I have an array of objects put in the FlowScope by a managed bean.
They belong to my class Question, among its properties there is a
String named mask. It provides the value for the pattern attribute of
the ConvertDateTime component. What I need to do is iterate the array
to display all the potential date options from my class.
I have the code below using an iterator but I am having an issue with
the setting of the pattern in the ConvertDateTime:
A wired value like this: pattern="#{pageFlowScope.questions[4].mask}"
works fine, but when I use the expected question.mask instead, the
value is never set properly in the ConvertDateTime. I am not sure if
this is related with the fact that var property on the iterator does
not support EL (according to documentation). I made a fresh install of
trinidad+examples but found nothing, the components seem to be well
used according to components demo.
I am 100% sure the bean and the flowscope have the right values on
them. I can't upgrade the version due to certain constraints.
Does anyone have a hint or work-around to put me in the right direction?
<tr:iterator id="question" var="question" varStatus="stat"
value="#{pageFlowScope.questions}">
<tr:inputDate id="answer"
rendered="#{question.options == null and question.type
== 'date'
and question.mask != 'short date' and question.mask != 'long date'}">
<tr:convertDateTime
pattern="#{pageFlowScope.questions[4].mask}"
secondaryPattern="#{messages.values.rtdsServiceQuestionMaskDate}"
messageDetailConvertDate="#{messages.values.pageQAValidationInvalidDate}" />
</tr:inputDate>
. . .
<tr:spacer height="5" />
</tr:iterator>
Thannks for your help!
