SortLink tag in browse.jsp doesn't work

zomurn

Hello,

I'am displaying my own metadata in my customized browse.jsp.
But I don't manage to sort according to MY custom metadata (it doesn't sort).
The error message is :

18:33:31,238 INFO [web.data.IDataContainer] Unable to get return type class for RichList column: urgent. Suggest set java type directly in sort component tag.
18:33:31,238 WARN [web.data.IDataContainer] Unsupported sort data type: class java.lang.Object defaulting to .toString()

caused by class org.alfresco.web.data.Sort

My custom code in browse.jsp :

<a:column id="col15" style="text-align:left" rendered="#{BrowseBean.browseViewMode == 'details'}">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <f:facet name="header">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a:sortLink id="col15-sort" label="Urgent" value="#{r.['{http://www.msc-assurance.fr/model/msc/1.0}urgent']" styleClass="header" />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </f:facet>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<h:outputText id="col15-txt" value="#{r.['{http://www.msc-assurance.fr/model/msc/1.0}urgent'] ? 'Oui' : 'Non'}" />
</a:column>‍‍‍‍‍‍

The display works , but not the sort on the column (a d:boolean).
It would be very nice if someone could help me !

Appearently, it is the id which is incorrect. Puttin 'colUrgent' as prefix works. But I need to double click on sort link (on the column header) so that the sort actually work. The first time I click, it sorts the "true" rows between itselves and "false" rows between itselves then, only on the second click, it sorts the whole boolean value between itselves (first true and then false). That's strange.

Hello, did you find a solution to this?

I have the same problem. We have a custom date property that I want to sort by. I have managed to get the property to appear just fine in the browse details screen but the sort doesn't work.

It says
17:33:03,083 INFO [web.data.IDataContainer] Unable to get return type class for RichList column: publicationDate. Suggest set java type directly in sort component tag.
17:33:03,083 WARN [web.data.IDataContainer] Unsupported sort data type: class java.lang.Object defaulting to .toString()

I thought the a:convertXMLDate tag should manage this. Is there some other place I need to tell jsf to convert the java date to a string?

zomurn

Yeah I resolved this with booleanEvaluator :

<a:column id="colUrgent" style="text-align:left" rendered="#{BrowseBean.browseViewMode == 'details'}">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <f:facet name="header">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a:sortLink id="colUrgent-sort" label="Urgent" value="msc:urgent" styleClass="header" mode="case-insensitive" />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </f:facet>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<h:outputText id="colUrgent-txt" value="#{r['msc:urgent'] ? 'Oui' : 'Non'}" >
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a:booleanEvaluator value="#{r['msc:urgent']}" ></a:booleanEvaluator>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</h:outputText>
</a:column>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I don't have the error message anymore

.
But I still need to double click to make the column sorted…why ? (JSF bug ?)

I have a similar problem. I have created a new content model (corp:doc) and want to display properties from that model in the Details view. To do this, I have copied the browse.jsp file and added the following:

<f:loadBundle basename="alfresco.module.corporate.context.webclient" var="corp"/>
…
<a:column id="col16" style="text-align:left" rendered="#{BrowseBean.browseViewMode == 'details'}">
<f:facet name="header">
<a:sortLink id="col16-sort" label="#{corp.docType}" value="docType" styleClass="header"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText id="col16-txt" value="#{r[\"corp:docType\"]}" />
</a:column>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I get:

INFO [web.data.IDataContainer] Unable to get return type class for RichList column: docType. Suggest set java type directly in sort component tag.
WARN [web.data.IDataContainer] Unsupported sort data type: class java.lang.Object defaulting to .toString()
‍‍‍‍

Is there some way to configure Alfresco to know the return type class of a given value="property" in XML, or di I need to write Java code to replace BrowseBean?

How do I "set java type directly in sort component tag"?

sergi_l

Hey ewerk!

Did you find a solution for this error?
I'm showing my custom properties but the sorting doesn't work. The column type is a string:

<a:column id="colNombre" style="text-align:left" rendered="#{BrowseBean.browseViewMode == 'details'}">
   <f:facet name="header">
      <a:sortLink id="colNombre-sort" label="#{msgCustom.nombre}" value="nombre" styleClass="header"/>
   </f:facet>
   <h

utputText id="colNombre-txt" value="#{r.properties['{http://www.prueba.com/model/content/1.0}nombre']}" />
</a:column>

Thanks!!

Ok, after a lot of messing around, I can get the sort link to work "properly".

here's the column code:

<a:column id="col17" style="text-align:left" rendered="#{BrowseBean.browseViewMode == 'details' || BrowseBean.browseViewMode == 'icons'}">
<f:facet name="header">
<a:sortLink id="col17-sort" label="Date of Publication" value="{http://sample.com/alfresco/content/1.0}publicationDate" styleClass="header" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText id="col17-txt" value="#{r['{http://sample.com/alfresco/content/1.0}publicationDate']}">
<f:convertDateTime type="both" pattern="#{msg.date_pattern}" />
</h:outputText>
</a:column>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Note I've used the full QName of the property in the sortLink value field.

Here's the code for the richlist tag:

<a:richList id="contentRichList" binding="#{BrowseBean.contentRichList}" viewMode="#{BrowseBean.browseViewMode}" pageSize="#{BrowseBean.pageSizeContent}"
styleClass="recordSet" headerStyleClass="recordSetHeader" rowStyleClass="recordSetRow" altRowStyleClass="recordSetRowAlt" width="100%"
value="#{BrowseBean.content}" var="r" initialSortColumn="{http://sample.com/alfresco/content/1.0}publicationDate" initialSortDescending="true">
‍‍‍‍

Again the main change I made was to include the full QName of the property.

This does allow correct sort of the content with the following provisos:
on page load, the sort link does appear to correctly sort the specified initialsortcolumn. However if you click on the sort link at the top of the column to invert the sort, nothing appears to happen - the logs then show the dreaded "Unable to get return type class for RichList column:…. " errors. If you click on the sort link again, however, it sorts correctly without the error in the logs.

I still can't exactly work out why, but at least it works.

I spent some time checking this further and found that in order for the sortLink to work properly with custom properties, you have to use the full qname of the property. Also, note that you will always get errors in your logs for if you view a page where one of the content items doesn't have a value set for your custom properties (ie. null).

Hi,

I'm trying to display my custom type's properties in details view mode.
I need to display those properties only for a type of content, not for all contents.

Does someone knows how to do that?

Thanks in advance

A question pertaining Lee's solution (full Qname)
When using

<h:outputText id="col17-txt" value="#{r['{http://sample.com/alfresco/content/1.0}publicationDate']}"‍

>

How is your namespace sample.com defined in customModel.xml ?
is it like this

<namespaces>
      <namespace uri="sample.com" prefix="sample" />
</namespaces>‍‍‍

or like this

<namespaces>
      <namespace uri="sample.com" prefix="sample" />
</namespaces>‍‍‍

The reason I'm asking is I cannot solve my problem using Lee's sample, everything being the same, it must be a matter of how the uri is defined in customModel.xml
