Johan Compagner commented on WICKET-1784:
-----------------------------------------
size() is not just called just before getItemModels()
but also just for paging navigator isVisible() check and all kinds of stuff
So what should that paging navigator call? not size() but Iterator(x,y) and
then the size??
I dont want the data at that time.
Data is only relevant when really rendering the list items not before. But
size() is used a lot more before/around that get data..
so looking at getItemModels() isnt what you should do, Look what size() does
everywhere.. thats the thing to look at.
What i dont get is what if we had your interface that we first call
onRequestsData(offset,count)
if we would call that before size() where in that method do you calculate the
total size??
if you do there a real query to get just that data then you still have to do a
separate query to do the size...

> Key: WICKET-1784
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-1784
> Project: Wicket
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: wicket
> Affects Versions: 1.3.3, 1.4-M3
> Environment: Wicket 1.3.3 and 1.4-M3
> Reporter: R. Goodwin
> Assignee: Igor Vaynberg
>
> In some environments searches are performed in 'single call' fashion, using a
> transfer object.
> E.g. two queries performed by the data services tier before returning
> combined results to the UI tier:
> i. Query for paged search results
> ii. Query for a 'count' value representing total possible results
> The contract between DataView and IDataProvider does not support a 'single
> call' environment as the give/take relationship between these classes is
> biased towards DataView.
> DataView expects IDataProvider to provide it's size before providing
> IDataProvider with its offset and count.
> * DataView may have good reasons for needing size before it can provide
> offset/count.
> * But IDataProvider has equally good reasons for needing offset/count before
> it can provide size.
> The circular dependency:
> 1. DataView calls IDataProvider.size()
> 2. IDataProvider cannot return size as it cannot start a query until it
> receives offset/count from DataView
> 3. These it does not receive until DataView calls IDataProvider.iterator()
> later on

> ---
> The suggested solution of caching the combined search results and count value
> does not work if the search cannot begin until offset and count are
> available. And writing a custom DataView is not feasible either time wise as
> I understand that it cannot be done without needing to write a number of
> other classes too.
