Facelets repeat Tag Index

Does anyone know a way to get the index of the element in a ui:repeat facelets tag?

<ui:repeat id="topTenGrd" var="dream" value="#{dreamModifyBean.topDreams}">
    <h:outputText class="dream-title uppercase" value="#{dream.number}. #{dream.title}" />
</ui:repeat>
Solution

  • Specify a value for the "varStatus" attribute:

    <ui:repeat id="..." var="..." value="..." varStatus="myVarStatus">

    You can then access the loop index via EL:

    #{myVarStatus.index}

    Additionally, the following properties are available to the varStatus:

    • begin of type Integer
    • end of type Integer
    • index of type int
    • step of type Integer
    • even of type boolean
    • odd of type boolean
    • first of type boolean
    • last of type boolean
