[OmniFaces utilities (2.4)] Create a copy of the array with items in reversed order

---

[OmniFaces utilities] The reverseArray() function returns a copy of the array with items in reversed order.

---

Function:

Usage:

Let's suppose that we have the following simple array defined in a bean:

@Named

@RequestScoped

public class MonthsBean {

   

 private String[] months = new String[] {"January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", 
   "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"};

 public String[] getMonths() {

  return months;

 }           

}

Now, we can display the array as it was defined and in reverse order as below:

// as it was defined

<ui:repeat value="#{monthsBean.months}" var="item" varStatus="loop">

 #{loop.index + 1} : #{item} #{!loop.last ? ', ' : ''}

</ui:repeat>

Output:

1 : January , 2 : February , 3 : March , 4 : April , 5 : May , 6 : June , 
7 : July , 8 : August , 9 : September , 10 : October , 11 : November , 12 : December

// reversed (xmlns:of="http://omnifaces.org/functions")

<ui:repeat value="#{of:reverseArray(monthsBean.months)}" var="item" varStatus="loop">

 #{loop.index + 1} : #{item} #{!loop.last ? ', ' : ''}

</ui:repeat>

Output:

1 : December , 2 : November , 3 : October , 4 : September , 5 : August , 6 : July , 
7 : June , 8 : May , 9 : April , 10 : March , 11 : February , 12 : January
