Re: Iterating through a list in a database and presenting it on JSF

[omoz4real]

Hi John,

Thanks very much for your reply . It did work as it displayed the messages from the database but not as I was expecting though. It ddisplayed all the messages on the same line. I was expecting when a user enters a message it displays on a new line with the "\n".as with the servlets example in the tutorial http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/javaee/javaee-gettingstarted.html . when viewing the output on the glassfish output console using the System.out.prinln(), it displays correctly i.e each new text on a new line. I tried creating three output texts on the JSF page and added two additional methods i.e getAllMessage1
() and getAllMessage1() and used it as the value for the corresponding output text but they all just come up on three lines i.e. all the messages appear on one line irrespective of when the text is entered. in the servlets example this was simply achieved by using the

for (Iterator it = news.iterator(); it.hasNext() {
NewsEntity elem = (NewsEntity) it.next();
out.println(" <b>"+elem.getTitle()+" </b><br />");
out.println(elem.getBody()+"<br /> ");
}
and it got the required results

Please do you know how I can go about this? Any way, thanks very much for introducing me to the StringBuffer class as I have never used it before.
