I'm new to JSF and in the process of learning im building an online book store application.
I have 1 class and 1 bean: Book.java and BookCatelogBean.java. The Book class has 3 properties: id, title, and author with it's corresponding getters and setters. The BookCatelogBean contains an ArrayList<Book> where I populate it with Books (in future I will connect it to a database).
I have two pages: index.xhtml and book.xhtml. I want to display the list of book titles on index.xhtml each formatted as a REST link and their ID to book.xhtml, like so: <h:link outcome="book?id=#{bookCatelogBean.id}" value="#{bookCatelogBean.title}" />
I know how to use BookCatelogBean to display 1 book but I want to display all of them? I have an idea to call a method from BookCatelogBean called getAllBooks() that returns each of the books titles but how would I return each one of them to index.xhtml as a JavaserverFace link instead of a string?
Thanks
Here is my code:
Book.java
package bookshop;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class Book implements Serializable {
private int id;
private String title;
private String author;
public Book(int id, String title, String author){
this.title = title;
this.id = id;
this.author = author;
}
public String getAuthor() {
return author;
}
public void setAuthor(String author) {
this.author = author;
}
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getTitle() {
return title;
}
public void setTitle(String title) {
this.title = title;
}
}
BookCatelogBean.java
package bookshop;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
@ManagedBean
@SessionScoped
public class BookCatelogBean implements Serializable {
private int currentItem = 0;
private ArrayList<Book> books = new ArrayList<Book>(Arrays.asList(
new Book(1, "Theory of Money and Credit", "Ludwig von Mises"),
new Book(2, "Man, Economy and State", "Murry Rothbard"),
new Book(3, "Real Time Relationships", "Stefan Molyneux")));
public String getTitle(){
return books.get(currentItem).getTitle();
}
public int getId(){
return books.get(currentItem).getId();
}
public String getAuthor(){
return books.get(currentItem).getAuthor();
}
}
index.xhtml
