The group_size property is reflected as the total number of pages in the
reports using pagination plus the last page doesnt show up in the links of pages
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DISPL-225
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DISPL-225
Project: DisplayTag
Type: Bug
Components: Paging/Sorting
Versions: 1.0
Problem 1: I tried using the value '{5} of {6}' for the properties:
paging.banner.full, paging.banner.last and paging.banner.full. According to the
documentation of display tags, {5} represents the current page and {6}
represents the total number of pages. BUT the output from using these value is:
{5} represents the current page and {6} represents the group size. The group
size property was specified using the property paging.banner.group_size. So,
instead of showing the total number of pages the value {6} showed the number of
pages specified for a group.
Problem 2: The other problem that I was faced with was related to link for the
last page. If I have n pages to show, then the display tag allowed to show only
n-1 pages. So i never end up seeing the nth page in my report.
Solution
To solve this problem I had to go ahead with modification of the two files:
SmartListHelper.java and Pagination.java.
SmartListHelper.java modifications:
Method : getPageNavigationBar
Earlier code : endPage = Math.min(startPage + groupSize - 1, this.pageCount);
Modified code : endPage = Math.min(startPage + groupSize - 1, this.pageCount);
The value of endPage is calculated in such a way that it will have a maximum
value of n-1, where n is the total number of pages. I modified this code to
ensure that the link to the last page is also generated. This is not a good
solution ( but it works for me ) because if you have to work with this code,
you will need to specify the (group size - 1) value in the
displaytag.properties file i.e., if you want a group size of 5, you need to
specify it 4.
Method: getPageNavigationBar
Earlier code : if (this.currentPage != this.pageCount)
Modified code: if(this.currentPage <= this. pageCount)
The earlier if statement will NEVER set the 'last page' and the modified if
statement will set the last page.
This modification prompted me to change the concept of 'last page' in
Pagination class. The Pagination class in display tag library uses the
following code to determine the last page:
public boolean isLast()
{
return this.lastPage == null;
}
The lastPage is defined as an Integer type and is set null for the last page. I
changed the code to make it more realistic: the last page is the page whose
count is equal to pageCount.
public boolean isLast()
{
return currentPage.intValue() == pageCount;
}
This required adding the following instance variable inside the Pagination
class: private int pageCount and the following setter method:
public void setPageCount(int i)
{
pageCount = i;
}
The setPageCount method is called by the SmartListHelper class in its
getPageNavigationBar method :
Pagination pagination = new Pagination(href, s);
pagination.setCurrent(new Integer(currentPage));
As I mentioned the value of {6} was taken as the value of the group size. This
required changes in the Pagination class' getFormattedBanner method.
Earlier:
Object[] pageObjects = {
numberedPageString,
((Href) this.href.clone()).addParameter(this.pageParam, getFirst()),
((Href) this.href.clone()).addParameter(this.pageParam,
getPrevious()),
((Href) this.href.clone()).addParameter(this.pageParam, getNext()),
((Href) this.href.clone()).addParameter(this.pageParam, getLast()),
this.currentPage,
new Integer(pages.size())};
The last argument decides the total number of pages to be shown corresponding
to the value {6}. The pages.size() corresponds to the value of group size,
which is wrong. It should correspond to the last page, therefore the modified
code now looks like:
Object[] pageObjects = {
numberedPageString,
((Href) this.href.clone()).addParameter(this.pageParam, getFirst()),
((Href) this.href.clone()).addParameter(this.pageParam,
getPrevious()),
((Href) this.href.clone()).addParameter(this.pageParam, getNext()),
((Href) this.href.clone()).addParameter(this.pageParam, getLast()),
this.currentPage,
getLast()};
Please let me know in case of any queries.
