Question

In my Seam application, I have a Seam component that returns a (@Datamodel) list of items I want to transform into a set of <li> HTML elements. I have this working without a problem.

But now, I want to split up the list according to an EL expression. So the EL expression determines if a new <ul> element should be started. I tried the following:

<s:fragment rendered='#{action.isNewList(index)}'>   <ul> </s:fragment> <!-- stuff that does the <li>'s goes here --> <s:fragment rendered='#{action.isNewList(index)}'>   </ul> </s:fragment> 

But that’s invalid, because the nesting for <ul> is wrong.

How should I do this?

You can do this using the JSF <f:verbatim> tag, which isn’t pretty but works:

<f:verbatim rendered='#{action.isNewList(index)}'>   &lt;ul&gt; </f:verbatim> <!-- stuff that does the <li>'s goes here --> <f:verbatim rendered='#{action.isNewList(index)}'>   &lt;/ul&gt; </f:verbatim>
