我可以用虚拟数据填充Primefaces Datatable吗？

Question

I want to fill a primefaces datatable with dummy data. Can I do this in any way like in normal HTML pages? In plain HTML, I can do this for example:

 <table>
  <tr>
    <th>Berlin</th>
    <th>Hamburg</th>
    <th>München</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Miljöh</td>
    <td>Kiez</td>
    <td>Bierdampf</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td>Buletten</td>
     <td>Frikadellen</td>
     <td>Fleischpflanzerl</td>
   </tr>
</table>

I want to hardcode the same in an primefaces datatable (because I need this datatable only for demonstration purposes but I would like to keep its layout). Is there a way to do this with my <p:datatable> , without having to code a backing bean which fills it?

Thanks!

Answer 1

No you can't. p:datatable value="..." attribute must resolve to a data source which is (recieved from) a managed bean eg of type Collection or DataModel .

Maybe you can somehow make up a List of Maps hard coded in faces-config.xml , but how ugly is this? Better create a managed bean with hard coded demo data.
