panelBorder

A panelBorder component is a layout container component that arranges and resizes specified child containers to fit in five regions: north, south, east, west, and center. These regions are defined using facets.

The panelBorder component can be used to provide a general layout scheme for a page.

The following code shows how to create a basic panelBorder component:

<ice:panelBorder id="page" layout="#{borderLayoutBean.borderLayout}">

        <f:facet name="north">
                <ice:panelGrid id="northWrapper">
                        <ice:outputText value="ice:panelBorder"/>
                </ice:panelGrid>
        </f:facet>
  
        <f:facet name="west">
                <jsp:directive.include file="inc/navigation.jsp" />
        </f:facet>
 
        <f:facet name="east">
                <ice:outputText value=""/>
        </f:facet>
  
        <f:facet name="center">
                <ice:panelGrid id="centerWrapper">
                        <ice:form id="selectorForm">
                                <ice:selectOneMenu id="styleSelector" styleClass="text" valueChangeListener="#{borderLayoutBean.processValueChange}" partialSubmit="true">
                                        <h:selectItems value="#{borderLayoutBean.layout}"/>
                                </ice:selectOneMenu>
                        </ice:form>
                </ice:panelGrid>
        </f:facet>
 
        <f:facet name="south">
                <ice:panelGrid id="southWrapper">
                        <f:verbatim>
