ui: repeat + p: datatable question

Question

I displaying multiple p:datatable \'s through ui:repeat, the following code snippet illustrates what I am doing:

Answer 1

This is likely related to JSF issue 1830.

Your best bet is to replace ui:repeat by another repeater which does its UINamingContainer job better, for example a <p:dataList> or even another <p:dataTable>. The list bullets of <p:dataList> can be removed by CSS list-style-type: none.

If that also doesn't work, then it's maybe a bug in PrimeFaces <p:dataTable> itself.

Answer 2

The only way I found was to use two p:datatable tags, the parent one with only one column. I couldn't make it work with p:dataList. I guess p:dataList is extending the same bogus class.

Should work with this:

<p:datatable id="searchTables"
    value="#{searchBean.mapKeys}"
    var="mapKeys">
    <p:column>
         <p:dataTable id="recordTable"
            value="#{searchBean.resultMap[mapKeys].resultList}"
            var="recordTable"
            paginator="true"
            rows="10">
                 <f:facet name="header">
                      <h:outputText value="#{searchBean.resultMap[mapKeys].name}"/>
                 </f:facet>
                    <p:columns value="#{searchBean.resultMap[mapKeys].resultColumns}"
                               var="column"
                               columnIndexVar="colIndex">
                        <f:facet name="header">
                            <p:outputPanel>
                                #{column.header}
                            </p:outputPanel>
                        </f:facet>
                        <h:outputText value="#{recordTable[column.property]}"/><br/>
                    </p:columns>
         </p:dataTable>
    </p:column>     
 </p:dataTable>
