Question

I want to implement this JSF page with pagination and sorting. Unfortunately Netbeans shows me error when getComponent() is used:

cannot find symbol
  symbol:   method getComponent()
  location: variable event of type java.awt.event.ActionEvent 

I tried to import the dependency java.awt.event.ActionEvent but there is no change. This is the code where getComponent() is used.

public void page(ActionEvent event) {
        page(((Integer) ((UICommand) event.getComponent()).getValue() - 1) * rowsPerPage);
    }

What dependencies are needed in order to use getComponent()? Can I replace the this Java method with similar method?

Best wishes

Answer 1

You imported wrong ActionEvent, You need to import

javax.faces.event.ActionEvent
