Peter Hinds created RF-12776: -------------------------------- Summary: Nested rich:dataTable causes rows in parent rich:dataTable to not get displayed Key: RF-12776 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12776 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: component-tables Affects Versions: 3.3.3.Final Environment: Machines: AIX 6100, Windows XP Application Server: WebSphere 8.0 Jave EE: 1.6 JSF: 1.2 Reporter: Peter Hinds Deeply nested {{rich:dataTable}} can cause rendering issues in its parent {{rich:dataTable}} This is observed in richfaces 3.3.3, unfortunately the project I am working on is restricted to this version because we have to use jsf 1.2 due to a requirement to be able to run on a java 1.5 application server in future. For the following description please reference the code I have added to 'steps to reproduce' section. I created 4 nested datatables (see dataTableIssue.xhtml), where each datatable is used to display an object in the following hierarchy: {{Farm}} {{--Field}} {{  --Animal}} {{    --Tag}} Each item in the hierarchy has three children (so each farm has 3 fields, each field has 3 animals and each animal has 3 tags). From the code in dataTableIssue.xhtml, I would expect the tables to be displayed as follows: {{farm1}} {{--field1}} {{  --animal1}} {{    --tag1}} {{    --tag2}} {{    --tag3}} {{  --animal2}} {{    --tag4}} {{    --tag5}} {{    --tag6}} {{  --animal3}} {{    --tag7}} {{    --tag8}} {{    --tag9}} {{--field2}} {{  --animal4}} {{    --tag10}} {{    --tag11}} {{    --tag12}} {{  --animal5}} {{    --tag13}} {{    --tag14}} {{    --tag15}} {{  --animal6}} {{    --tag16}} {{    --tag17}} {{    --tag18}} {{--field3}} {{  --animal7}} {{    --tag19}} {{    --tag20}} {{    etc.}} However, what is actually rendered is the following (i.e. the animals in field1 are not listed): {{farm1}} {{--field1 (the animals are not listed for this field)}} {{--field2}} {{  --animal4}} {{    --tag10}} {{    --tag11}} {{    --tag12}} {{  --animal5}} {{    --tag13}} {{    --tag14}} {{    --tag15}} {{  --animal6}} {{    --tag16}} {{    --tag17}} {{    --tag18}} {{--field3}} {{  --animal7}} {{    --tag19}} {{    --tag20}} {{    etc.}} I can see from the debug that the backing bean has the correct data so I know it's not a data issue. If I remove the last nested dataTable from the jsf page (marked 'TROUBLESOME TABLE' in dataTableIssue.xhtml), then it will render correctly. For example it will display as: {{farm1}} {{--field1}} {{  --animal1}} {{  --animal2}} {{  --animal3}} {{--field2}} {{  --animal4}} {{  --animal5}} {{  --animal6}} {{--field3}} {{  --animal7}} {{  etc.}} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
