<w:MRUTabList>

A tab list that displays the "highest ranked" (most recently used) tabs inline and renders the others via a "More..." popup menu.

The visible subset is displayed in the order they appear in the list returned by the list binding.

Bindings

list *	The list of items over which to iterate. Each item in the list represents one tab in the tabset. The items in the list may be of any type. The list itself can be any of the supported classes which has a class extension of type AWOrderedList. By default, this includes all primitive arrays, java.util.List, java.util.Vector, and all implementations of List-like classes which Ariba has implemented.	List (get)
item *	For each item in the "list", this is pushed into the referring component's scope. It can then be used for dereferencing things like the label of the tab.	java.lang.Object (set)
label	The string to display on each label. The string is html-escaped before rendering.	String (get)
rank	The rank (e.g. MRU position) of the tab. If there are many tabs, only those with the highest rank are displayed (and the others are in the More... menu). If the rank binding is not provided, then a session-level MRU is maintained (and initial rank defaults to index in the the list array)	int (get)
selection	During renderResponse, the selection is used to determine which tab to display as selected. When the user clicks an unselected tab, we set the selection in the referring component's context. This is a stateless component, so the referring component (or a parent thereof) must maintain the selection for subsequent requests.	java.lang.Object (both)
action	Fired when tab clicked	AWResponseGenerating (get)
maxWidthChars	How many characters wide (in aggregate label width) to render the tabs. When determining how many tabs will "fit" the tab list counts the string length of the labels, plus 4 for each tab separator. As many high ranked tabs as possible will be rendered until this total is reached.	int (get)
actionMenuId	Id for an action menu. If this exists, an Action Menu Button will be displayed. The button uses the optional label actionMenuLabel or "Actions" by default.	String (get)
actionMenuLabel	Optional label for the Action Menu Button.	String (get)
class	Probably ignored. Just make sure to wrap your tab list in a TD or div with a class like "pageTabWrapper"	String (get)
vertical	Render as a vertical stack	boolean (get)
dropType	see AWDropContainer's "type" binding.	String (get)
dropAction	see AWDropContainer's "dropAction" binding.	AWResponseGenerating (get)
disabled	Render as (and behave as) disabled.	boolean (get)

Method Detail

isStateless

public boolean isStateless()

Description copied from class: AWComponent

Overridden by AWComponent subclasses to indicate whether component instances should be preserved with the page/session (i.e. are "stateful") or can be pooled and reused for each phase of request processing (i.e. are stateless) Default is to be stateless unless the component is used as the top-level (page) component.

Overrides:

isStateless in class AWComponent

renderResponse

public void renderResponse(AWRequestContext requestContext,
                           AWComponent component)

Description copied from interface: AWCycleable

The receiver should render its content to the AWRequestContext.response()

Specified by:

renderResponse in interface AWCycleable

Overrides:

renderResponse in class AWComponent

Parameters:

requestContext - the context for the current request.

component - the current parent component
