I think this is not a very used control, otherwise I guess someone would’ve realized by now that if you do something like:

<dmf:sortablelistbox name="parametersList" id="parametersList" width="400" size="10" multiselect="false"/>

which, according to the WDK guide is correct:

 width (Optional) Width of this control

and then load the page:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /custom/jsp/editor/editor.jsp(46,5) No se puede encontrar el método de escritura para el atributo: width

which in english means: Cannot find write method for the attribute width

So, what’s going on? First, we check the control definition in the TLD:

           <attribute>  
             <name>width</name>  
             <required>false</required>  
             <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>  
             <description>  
                TBD.  
             </description>  
          </attribute>  

Ok, so if the attribute is defined, why doesn’t work?

    com.documentum.web.form.control.sortablelistbox.SortableListBox  
      
      public void setListBoxWidth(String strWidth)  
      {  
        this.m_strWidth = strWidth;  
        getItemsListBoxControl().setWidth(strWidth);  
      }  
      
      public String getListBoxWidth()  
      {  
        return this.m_strWidth;  
      }  

really?

So, you know, either add “listboxwidth” as an attribute in the TLD or recompile the SortableListBox class adding getWidth/setWidth methods.

I’ve checked this happens (at least) on webtop 6.6, 6.7SP2 and 6.7SP2 patch 17.
