[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (RF-11208) Resolve the ambiguity between the pickLIst "columnVar" and the orderingList "var"

[Brian Leathem (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11208?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12623547#comment-12623547 ] 

Brian Leathem commented on RF-11208:
------------------------------------

This all comes to a head when we want pickList to be able to define it's own select items.  Currently the syntax looks like:
{code}
<r:pickList values="..." colmunVar="columnVar" itemValues="..." var="itemVar" itemLabel="#{itemVar.title}">
    <r:column>
        #{columnVar.somAttribute}
    </r:column>
</r:pickList>
{code}
where columnVar iterates over the values, and is used as the replacement variable while rendering the columns
and var iterates over the itemValues, and is used as the replacement variable when defining the selectItems.

So the question is, if we drop the columnVar, and recycle the "var" attribute between the two contexts, is that more or less confusing for end-users?

> pickList uses the attribute "columnVar" as a replacement EL variable for defining column data
> orderingList uses the attribute "var"
> This amibiguity needs to be resolved with a consistent solution.
