R. Goodwin commented on WICKET-1784:
------------------------------------
I did find that creating the replacement DataView and DataProvider was pretty
straightforward.
But going down the path of subclassing higher up the hierarchy (i.e.
RefreshingView) still concerns me:
* The PagingNavigationLink classes are trying to get the data provider size
before data is loaded, so a full solution would seem to require writing
alternatives to those classes and PagingNavigator too. Until then, my version
of DataView is flawed.
* We lose out on functionality added lower down in the hierarchy, i.e. the
change management code in AbstractPageeableView, and anything else added in
future
Unless I'm missing a trick here ...

By the way, every other aspect of Wicket development has been perfect by
comparison. So thanks.
Can't believe how quick it is to put together web apps.

> 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
> Attachments: wicket-paging-experiment.zip

>
> 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
> Others who experienced this problem (with CODE examples):
> * http://www.nabble.com/IDataProvider-and-Hibernate-Search-td15546101.html
> * http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg14266.html
> ---
> 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.
