Compare current row of iterator with row.rowKeyStr of af:iterator

Question

Hi,
I have an af:iterator looping though all employees.
For each employee I display a button. When the user presses the button then the current row of the iterator is set (with setCurrentRowKey).
This works so far.
Now I need to mark the button which represents the current row (e.g. with a red border).
For this purpose I want to compare empRow.rowKeyStr with the currentRowKeyString of the iterator to determine which button represents the current row.
But empRow.rowKeyStr and currentRowKeyString of the ADF binding are always different.
                          <af:iterator id="iter2" var="empRow" varStatus="n"
                                       rows="#{bindings.EmployeesView.rangeSize}"
                                       value="#{deptRow.EmployeesView}"
                                       binding="#{backingBeanScope.backing_test_iterator.iter2}">
                            <af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl1" layout="vertical">
                              <af:outputText value="currentRowKeyString: #{bindings.testEmployeesViewIterator.currentRowKeyString}"
                                             id="ol1x"/>
                              <af:outputText value="rowKeyStr: #{empRow.rowKeyStr}"
                                             id="ol4"/>
                              <af:commandButton text="#{empRow.LastName}"
                                                id="cbEmpPos"
                                                partialSubmit="true"
                                                inlineStyle="height:80px;"
                                                action="#{backingBeanScope.backing_test_iterator.invokeSetCurrentRowWithKey}"
                                                binding="#{backingBeanScope.backing_test_iterator.cbEmpPos}"/>
                            </af:panelGroupLayout>
                          </af:iterator>Any ideas how to solve this issue?
BTW: skining of af:commandButton which has the focus does not fullfill the requirement as the current row must not have the focus too.

Answer 1

Hello Timo,
Thanks for the input. I checked the code in ADF code and both (rowKeyStr and currentRowKeyString) use toStringFormat(true).
The problem IMO is that I have a tree binding for the nested af:iterator.
So I have to compare empRow.rowKeyStr with the currentRowKeyString of the child iterator which is the Accessor "EmployeesView".
At the moment I compare empRow.rowKeyStr with an extra iterator testEmployeesViewIterator --> the key can never be the same :-(
    <tree IterBinding="testDepartmentsViewIterator"
          id="testDepartmentsViewAFIter">
      <nodeDefinition DefName="model.DepartmentsView"
                      Name="testDepartmentsViewAFIter0">
        <AttrNames>
          <Item Value="DepartmentId"/>
          <Item Value="DepartmentName"/>
        </AttrNames>
        <Accessors>
          <Item Value="EmployeesView"/>
        </Accessors>
      </nodeDefinition>
      <nodeDefinition DefName="model.EmployeesView"
                      Name="testDepartmentsViewAFIter1">
        <AttrNames>
          <Item Value="EmployeeId"/>
          <Item Value="FirstName"/>
          <Item Value="LastName"/>
        </AttrNames>
      </nodeDefinition>
    </tree>If I'm able to access currentRowKeyString from the Accessor "EmployeesView" then I should have solved my problem.
