Thanks for the reply,
So is the way of doing this to extend a dataModel class and implement my own
getRowCount() method?

From what I can gather, in Trinidad the total number of records in a table

if you don't want to fetch the whole set of data from the database and

No, not the case. Just like in Tomahawk and with h:dataTable,
we support the DataModel API. If you don't know how many rows
there are, then return -1 from getRowCount(). The only requirement -
which applies to all users of the JSF DataModel API - is that if
someone calls setRowIndex(...), isRowAvailable() has to figure
out if that row really exists.
The Trinidad CollectionModel API extends DataModel to add support
for sorting and identifying-rows-by-keys-instead-of-indices - but
the same rules apply. So you could extend CollectionModel instead
of DataModel if you want those add-on features, but we support
both DataModel and CollectionModel.

I only want to query for a small number of records (1 page) at a time but
need some way of informing the table component that there are in fact a
lot
more records in the database.
This would require setting a variable that represents the total number of
rows available from the database, but there doesn't appear any longer to
be
this facility.
Is there a straightforward way of doing this? (eg: like the dataScroller
in
tomahawk)
thanks,
Marcus
