JSP tag collaboration with BI Beans

Question

Hello!
We need to reorganize a dimension hierarchy in runtime during presentation. It's merely a matter of formatting. We use a tag handler that reeds its body doing some operations and puts a new content for body in page.
We tried this
====================
<My:BodyReaderTag>
<orabi:ListCombo renderAs="combo" autoSubmit="true" biList="${tagtest_dimMemList1_data}"/>
</My:BodyReaderTag>
====================
When doing this my tag grabs all content except the output from orabi:ListCombo. It seems like orabi:ListCombo does not push the JspWriter on the stack (by collaboration with orabi:BIBody tag). When, for testing purposes only, I removed the orabi:BIBody tag, I got the result I would like to get.
How can I get the output from orabi:ListCombo tag? Or if that is not possible, where can I find detailed information so I can create my own customized tag handlers that collaborates with BI Beans,
Thanks in advance,
Mats

Answer 1

The implementation of the <orabi:ListCombo> is based on UIX JSP tags technology. It uses an instance of oracle.cabo.ui.RenderingContext created earlier by the BIThinSession tag to do the actually rendering.
May I ask what are you trying to do with the <my:reformatter> tag? The ListCombo tag has attributes like "styleClass" and "inlineStyle" that can be used customize the look and feel of the content it renders. Also, we provide a set of built-in styles. Have you looked into whether you can use "styleClass" or "inlineStyle" attributes to satisfy your formatting needs?
Hope this helps,
