Creating a custom bean id

Hi everyone,
I have the following container :

BeanContainer<Integer, Person> container = new BeanContainer<Integer, Person>(Person.class);
container.setBeanIdProperty("lastName");

Where person has a "lastName", "firstName" and "town" attributes.

I'm passing this container to my table :

table.setContainerDataSource(container);

The problem is that I want to have a bean id property value (called "fullname") that is the result of the lastname and firstname concatenation.

How can I do this wit the setTableFieldFactory and createField methods ?

Thank you.

Hi,

The quick solution I guess would be to define a method getFullName() in your bean and use "fullName" as a bean ID.

I know ... but i'm experimenting the setTableFieldFactory :)

A field factory (as well as an overridden formatPropertyValue()) work on single properties. Furthermore, a TableFieldFactory just creates the field but its value is set separately later.

If you want to combine multiple properties, you can use a generated column (Table.addGeneratedColumn()).
