[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Re: Scriptaculous Sortable List Integration with Seam Remoti

[nathandennis]

it took me a bit, but after i stopped trying to make theirs serialization work,, and used my head,,, i came up with a workaround. 
what i was trying to do was get the graphically ordered list to the server so i could sort it in an array and persist any changes.


created session bean with a string field and use seam remote.


  | Sortable.create('list',{onUpdate:function(){
  | 	 	var orderLayerList = '';
  |  		var orderedNodes = document.getElementById('list').getElementsByTagName('li');
  |  		for (var i = 0; i < orderedNodes.length; i++) {
  |  	 		orderLayerList += orderedNodes
  |                         .getAttribute('id') + ', ';
  |  	 	}
  | 	 	Seam.Component.getInstance('someAction').parseLayerList(orderLayerList); 
  | 		var ef = new Effect.Highlight('list',{});}});
  | 
parse the string with a tokenizer. 
 

  | 		StringTokenizer line = new StringTokenizer(list,", ", false);
  | 			int tokencount = line.countTokens();
  | 			log.info("token count" + tokencount);
  | 			List<String> layerarray = new ArrayList<String>(); 
  | 			for (int dem=0; dem < tokencount ; dem++){
  | 				layerarray.add(line.nextToken());
  | 				log.info(layerarray.get(dem).toString());
  | 				}
  | 
then i got distracted and i havent finished the rest. but now it is in an array and should be no problem.

was that a good approach? seemed to work.

thanks for the response though.
