Automatic sort feature for extended data table
----------------------------------------------
Key: TOMAHAWK-265
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-265
Project: MyFaces Tomahawk
Type: New Feature
Components: Extended Datatable
Environment: All
Reporter: Catalin Kormos
Priority: Minor
Attachments: patch.zip
The main new feature is, to allow obtaining a sortable table with little
effort. By specifying a sortable=true attribute on the dataTable, command sort
header components will be automaticaly added to each column header, if not
present already, wrapping the current content of the header facet, and the
sorting will be performed by the property obtained from the output component
displaying the cell's content. Using the t:column component for the columns,
will allow specifying also the default sorted column, using the new
defaultSorted=true attribute.
The actual sorting by columns is handled by a new SortableModel, integrated
into MyFaces from ADF Faces, which acts as a wrapper for the current model, and
uses row object's properties to perform sort.
I created also a new page in myfaces examples/simple, to show how can this be
used.
I think it's a nice feature to have, and could be further enhanced, i hope you
guys will feel the same.
Regards,
Catalin
