JSF: More customizable selectManyCheckbox and selectOneRadio

Question

I\'m using selectManyCheckboxes and selectOneRadios and I would like to customize them in some way. It would be sufficient if there was be a possibilty to group the selectItems

Yes, certainly this is possible. You've already made a good choice with Tomahawk. It's namely one of the very few component libraries which provides components which allows you to position checkboxes and radiobuttons everywhere the way you want instead of ending up with them in a table as the standard components do.

Here's a kickoff example with (note the new layout="spread" attribute, the JSF defaults are pageDirection and lineDirection) and .

    


 radio in paragraph
 radio in heading

 radio after horizontal rule

The also supports layout="spread" with the same way.

This allows for more fine grained HTML/CSS markup on and around those buttons/checkboxes.
