Scaffolded entities are not editable on Internet Explorer 8 ----------------------------------------------------------- Key: SEAMFORGE-275 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFORGE-275 Project: Seam Forge Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Richard Kennard The entity list produced by scaffold/.../list.xhtml is not editable on IE 8. Probably because the table tags produced by Metawidget are considered to be 'above' (in z-index) the anchor tag, and stop the anchor tag being clicked. A few possible workarounds: 1. Change the Metawidget tag to be... <m:metawidget value="#{entity}" readOnly="true" rendererType="simple"/> ...the 'simple' renderer will output spans, not table tags, and so the link is still clickable. You may want a little CSS to space the table tags apart. 2. Change the Metawidget tag to be... <m:metawidget value="#{customerBean.list}"> <f:param name="dataTableRowEditAction" value="customerBean.load"/> </m:metawidget> Now Metawidget will render the collection as a DataTable, with a extra column for a 'load' action. It will need a little help to do this. Specifically: a) CustomerBean.getList will need to return a ListDataModel, so that CustomerBean.load can use .getRowData to determine which row was clicked. This is standard JSF behaviour. b) Customer will need either a decent .toString (for a single column table) or some required fields like @Column(nullable = false) getName() so that Metawidget can choose which fields are 'summary' fields for use in table columns 3. Add in a custom Metawidget renderer to render the list just the way you want it 4. Tweak the z-index order in the CSS, although this may lead to further browser incompatibilities Probably 1) is easiest for now?
