Igor Vaynberg commented on WICKET-1784:
---------------------------------------
well...it seems like you were able to easily build what you need...
so what do you need from wicket itself?
personally i do not like this as it is not as clean as what we have and a lot
more complex (with different strategies to handle unexected results). also
things like paging navigation will cause problems, as you have already realized
yourself.
what we have in wicket is simple and works for 95% of the time. i do not think
we should change it to handle this rare usecase, especially not if it is
already possible to implement it externally.
but this is just my two cents, you can bring this up on the list to get a wider
audience.

> 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.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.
