I'm attempting to convert a JSF application to ZK. While converting a particular page, I coded:
<?xel-method prefix="myFuncs" name="inStatus" class="com.foo.bar.MyFunctions" signature="java.lang.Boolean inStatus( com.foo.bar.model.EmploymentApplication , java.lang.String )" ?>
...
...
...
<listbox id="applicationList" model="@{myController.employeeApplications}" fixedLayout="true" width="100%" height="100%" vflex="true" >
<listhead sizable="true">
<listheader width="30px" label="Application Date" sort="auto(applicationDate)" />
<listheader width="50px" label="Applicant Name" sort="auto(lastName, firstName)" />
<listheader width="70px" label="Status" sort="auto(status)" />
<listheader width="50px" label="Store #" sort="auto(storeNum)" />
</listhead>

<listitem id="applicationListItem" self="@{each='appl'}" value="@{appl}" forward="onDoubleClick=onEditApplication" >
<listcell ><datebox format="MM/dd/yyyy" value="@{appl.applicationDate}" readonly="true" buttonVisible="false"/> </listcell>
<listcell label="@{appl.lastName}" > , <label value="@{appl.firstName}" /></listcell>
<listcell label="${appl.status}" visible="${ myFuncs:inStatus(appl, 'DECLINED') }" />
<listcell label="@{appl.storeNum}" />
</listitem>
</listbox >

The problem I'm having is in the 3rd <listcell.../>. I want the contents to be visible only if myFuncs:inStatus(...) returns true. Setting a breakpoint in the inStatus method shows that it gets called exactly once. The appl parameter is null. Is there a way to make inStatus(...) get called for each <listitem.../> that is created? Thanks
