[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (RF-13662) <rich:orderingList> doesn't provide selection

[Martin Höller (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-13662?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12976822#comment-12976822 ] 

Martin Höller commented on RF-13662:
------------------------------------

I'd say providing a selection-attribute simplifies component usage instead of complicating it.

selectItem/unselectItem (and maybe a selectionChange-event) are welcome but they would still complicate my use-case compared with the selection-attribute: I'd have to use an additional a4j:jsFunction to propagate the client-side changes to the server.

So while I understand your arguing on keeping component API small/simple, I still suggest providing available informations to the user. The user doesn't have to use the selection-attribute if he doesn't need it. So usage would be the same in most cases.

> In RichFaces 3.x the <rich:orderingList> component had a selection-Attribute. In RichFaces 4.x this is currently not supported and thus there is not way to obtain the selected entries. Please bring back this useful feature!
