Huh...funny you mention this.

I just found the same thing, but I identified a solution, at least for us.

I had a JSP with several tables, and one implemented a TableDecorator. I kept getting an error trying to resolve a property of an object that wasn't involved in THAT table at all, but was a property of a table that appeared higher on the page. What I discovered was that the first table used the NAME attribute to refer to the name of the collection for that table, whereas all the rest of the tables on that page used the NAME attribute to refer to the collection itself. When I changed the NAME attribute on the first table to the actual collection, the problem on the other table went away.

So, check to see if you are using the NAME attribute to refer to the collections, or the names of the collections.

HTH...

Subject: Re: [displaytag-user] Possible Bug in TableDecorator

I have included two things below:

[1] The table definition as requested

[2] A snippet from a custom class that I wrote as explained next.

(Quick disclaimer: I am using JAR 1.1.1 though I did try to drop test the latest version of the JAR. The rest of this email refers to the source code which I got off one of the web source repositories, Koders Search, and I have not done complete due diligence in reconciling versions of code to JAR.)

So basically I feel that I have verified the behavior at least. As my original email states, it seems you can only use properties that belong to the underlying object. I guess that is fine for now as long as I understand that. It does not seem as useful but at least I know what to expect.

So, for what it is worth, I have at least solved my problem temporarily by writing a custom Decorator modeled after the total decorator in the JAR. I ended up overriding the evaluate method from the base Decorator class which I included in [2] below. It is pretty simple and it seems to work though I have not done a lot of testing against it. I will update this thread if I find out more.

I am still curious as to the take that others have on this “feature”. My observations are not really a complaint, just trying to flush out my own understanding and contribute to the process of open-source. If I get to spend much more time on this I may even post a proposed patch or something. J

Thanks all.

Attachment 1:

[Note: I know that these have a body and a property. A mere artifact of the various things I tried along the way. From my testing, apparently the property value trumps the tag body so it is merely “misleading” and does not cause a bug.]

decorator="totalsDecorator"

</display:table>

Attachment 2:

[Note: CheckedExceptionWrapper is a custom class that we use.]

public Object evaluate(String name) {

Object o = null; // super.evaluate(name);

if (this.hasGetterFor(name)) {

try {

o = LookupUtil.getBeanProperty(this, name);

} catch (ObjectLookupException e) {

throw new CheckedExceptionWrapper(name, e);

}

} else {

// else check underlining object

o = super.evaluate(name);

}

return o;

}
