Building Dynamic Tables in UIX

Question

I have a two dimensional array of data generated at runtime that I'd like to place in a UIX table. I'm not quite sure how to set up said table. I've come up with two ideas, neither of which seem to be panning out.
1) Set up a TableBean in Java and include it on the page. This is the close of the two solutions, but I receive the error "Table has no visible columns!" I'm setting the ColumnHeader and TableData, but I seem to be missing the column definitions. Reading through the TableBean javadoc, I am unable to find what field the column definitions are stored in.
2) Set up the table in UIX. I've had less luck with this. I'm not sure (I'm betting no from what I've seen) if I can set up an inner loop on a 2-D array using <contents childData>
Does anyone know how to build my table or have any other helpful suggestions? Thanks.

Answer 1

Matt,
I am trying to build a dynamic table using a table bean. The columns display fine using the code below:
ColumnBean column = new ColumnBean();
column.setColumnHeader(new StyledTextBean("Col1", null));
table.addIndexedChild(column);
For the rows: I have created the following structure:
DataObjectList listA;
for (i=0; i < no_of_rows; i++)
myArray[i1] = new Integer(rs.getInt(4));
//myArray is an array of Integers
listA = new BeanArrayDataObjectList(myArray);
dd = new DictionaryData("testRows", listA);
and then try to add the rows using:
table.setTableData(listA);
for (int i2=0; i2 < myArray.length; i2++)
table.setTableDataBinding(myArray[i2].toString());
But the row data does not display. Is setTableDataBinding the right thing to do to display the data?
Please can you help.
Thanks,
Paami
