Adding Columns(parsys) based on number field entries in AEM 6.4

[berni7473]

Hi All,

I am trying to create a component which will add number of columns based on the number selected in the numberfield in dialog. For exm - If I add 3 in the number field it should then generate a layout consisting of three columns with three parsys.

Currently I'm trying to read the number field value and add these values in a list in java. This is the snippet:

if (null != columnProperties) {

numberofcolumns = (Integer) columnProperties.get("numberofcolumns", 1); //number entered from the dialog in numberfield

log.info("Number of Columns: " + numberofcolumns);

for (int i = 0; i < numberofcolumns; i++) {

log.info("Inside for loop");

ColumncontainerVO columnItemVO1 = new ColumncontainerVO();

//String col = "autocomplete" + String.valueOf(i + 1);

columnItemVO1.setNumber(i);

log.info("Column Item"+columnItemVO1);

columnList.add(columnItemVO1);

log.info("columnList"+columnList.get(i));

}

log.info("Outside for loop");

}

public List<ColumncontainerVO> getcolumnList() {  //list being generated for the entries

return columnList;

}

After this I'm trying to access this list in sightly using the below code:

<div data-sly-test="${wcmmode.edit}" class="col-content" style="color: gray;">Edit Column Container</br></div>

<div data-sly-use.colControl="com.aem.common.components.mysample.Columncontrol" data-sly-unwrap>

     <div class="sample-container">

         <div class="row class">

           <div data-sly-list="${colControl.columnList}" data-sly-unwrap>

           <div data-sly-resource="${ @path=item.number, resourceType='foundation/components/parsys'}"></div>

            </div>    

         </div>

      </div>
</div>

However, i'm not getting the list value on the page. The above approach has to be done using WCMUsePojo class in java.

Can anyone please provide their insight?
