The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How can I create dynamic datatable in backing bean in jsf (visual jsf)?

Asked by iceberg100 in Java Server Faces (JSF), NetBeans IDE, WebApplications

Tags: NetBeans, JSF, HtmlDataTable

I have to create dataTable in jsf in netBeans 6.5.1 (visual jsf, appServer=glassfish, os=windows xp).
I receive data dynamically from web service....
I don't know how many column, nor number of rows I would have.
And I have to do that in prerender() method of that page, because when someone click link, I have to display that page.
Now, in my jsp, I have tag for dataTable (h:dataTable) with some properties (not column-tag there).
And in java file of that jsp (backing bean) in prerender method I can get name of column and style of column (I put code down)...
Data for properties of column are in my headers variable and in my rows variable are data for rows.
My problem is how can I add data (rows) to my table; map data to my table?
Hope you can help me...

//System.out.println("--------------> p = "+p + "; i = "+i + "; tempList.size()" + tempList.size());
