So, i am trying to break out of tapestry loop here.
This is my -more or less- simplified scenario:
<ul>
<t:loop source="firstSource" value="firstValue">
<li>
<t:loop source="firstValue" value="secondValue">
<p>${secondValue}</p>
</t:loop>
<t:loop source="secondSource" value="thirdValue">
<p>${thirdValue}</p>
</t:loop>
</li>
</t:loop>
</ul>
What I do not want to have is: Tapestry loops through all entries in firstValue - then loops through all entries in secondSource. I do not want to iterate through secondSource inside the loop of fristValue as this would iterate through all entries in secondSource - and I just want to do 1 iteration at a time.
What I want to have is: Tapestry enters the loop for firstValue and does some printing or whatever, then breaks after the first iteration and jumps into secondSource to do the first iteration . After it has finished it jumps back to firstValue and repeats these steps. This is what in Java the "break;" would do.
I did not find a clue in the Tapestry documentation on how to do this, nor in their forums.
But it has to be possible in some way. I can not imagine I am the only one trying to do this.
Just put an if statement around the logic, probably using an index variable:
<t:loop source="firstSource" value="firstValue">
<li>
<t:loop source="firstValue" value="secondValue" index="firstValueIndex">
<t:if test="firstCondition">
<p>${secondValue}</p>
</t:if>
</t:loop>
<t:loop source="secondSource" value="thirdValue">
<t:if test="secondCondition">
<p>${thirdValue}</p>
</t:if>
</t:loop>
</li>
</t:loop>
In the Java page:
@Property
private int firstValueIndex;
public boolean getFirstCondition() {
// logic to determine whether to break out
return firstValueIndex == 0;
}
public boolean getSecondCondition() {
// logic
}
My guess is that you have three sources of data and are trying to output three columns, is this right?
Sometimes you have to transform your data a little bit: For example, you might need to do some work to convert one value from each of the three inputs into a single value:
public class Row {
Object col1, col2, col2;
}
In your Java code, you would build up a List of Row objects.
In your template, you iterate over the Row objects, rendering the col1, col2 and col3 properties.
(In Tapestry 5.3 and above, a public field can be treated as a property.)
I've used similar techniques to output a calendar, which can be very tricky to manage using conditionals and the like inside the template.
Remember the role of the Controller in MVC: its job to mediate between the model and the view; sometimes that includes some simple transformations of the model data to fit in with the view.
