[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (RF-4330) rich:columns value unable to reference outer var in nested richTables

rich:columns value unable to reference outer var in nested richTables --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-4330 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-4330 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.2.1 Environment: Linux: fedora 7 and fedora 9. Java 6. Reporter: Jason Grant Attachments: jason_sandbox.xhtml, JasonBean.java The following code snippet has a columns component whose value is derived from the vars of the outer [nested] dataTables. This always renders as an empty table: <rich:dataTable value="#{jasonBean.outerRows}" var="row"> <rich:column breakBefore="true"> <!-- Nested table within a column --> <rich:dataTable value="#{row.innerRows}" var="innerRow"> <rich:columns value="#{innerRow.columns}" var="innerColumn"> <h:outputText value="#{innerColumn.value}"/> <rich:spacer /> </rich:columns> </rich:dataTable> </rich:column> </rich:dataTable> If I instead assign the column value via a method that is not coupled to the vars of the enclosing tables, all works well. For example: <rich:columns value="#{jasonBean.bogusColumns}" var="innerColumn"> This makes me suspect that I am witnessing a bug, rather than doing something naive.
