Get concrete URL of <p:graphicImage> returning StreamedContent

3.4k views Asked by At

In order to use the lightbox, I need a link to the image as generated by <p:graphicImage>.

Ultimately, the HTML should look like this:

<a href="image.jpg" data-lightbox="bilder">
  <img src="image.jpg" />
</a>

This is my JSF attempt so far:

<h:outputLink data-lightbox="bilder" value="???">
  <p:graphicImage value="#{imageStreamer.image}">
    <f:param name="imageId" value="#{gameReader.game.cover.id}"/>
  </p:graphicImage>
</h:outputLink>

How do I get the concrete URL of <p:graphicImage> returning StreamedContent so that I can use it in my link?

Have suggested a solution to this question here.

Long story short, you can use the getImageSrc method of the GraphicImageRenderer in order to get the image URI.

First step is extending the GraphicImageRenderer to publish the protected getImageSrc method:

public class GraphicImageRendererXtension extends GraphicImageRenderer {
    // publish the protected GraphicImageRenderer#getImageSrc method:
    public String getPublicImageSrc(FacesContext context, GraphicImage image) throws Exception {
        return getImageSrc(context, image);
    }
}

The we need a method in managed bean that enables us use the getPublicImageSrc method:

public class MyBean {
  // ...
  public String getImgUri(GraphicImage imgComponent) throws Exception {
    assert null != imgComponent;
    String imgUri = new GraphicImageRendererXtension().getPublicImageSrc(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(),
                imgComponent);
    return imgUri;
  }
}

Finally we bind the p:graphicImage component to an arbitrary variable and invoke myBean.getImgUri to get the Uri for any purpose:

<h:outputLink value="#{myBean.getImgUril(myImage)}">
        <p:graphicImage binding="#{myImage}" value="#{myBean.img}" />
</h:outputLink>

An easy way without need to implement a new bean is to output an invisible graphicImage and copy around the URL using Javascript:

<h:form id="myForm">
    <p:graphicImage id="urlOutputter" value="#{MyForm.image}" style="display: none;"/>
    <span id="imageData" data-image="***URL HERE***"/>
    <script>
        var url = document.getElementById("myForm:urlOutputter").src;
        document.getElementById("imageData").setAttribute("data-image", url);
    </script>

This have one solution - using servlet here is a servlet which will work in any jsf application
