Hi All,
I am struggling with persisting re-arranged repeater rows.
I have a form that edits an Album Bean which has a (java.util.List) 'Resources' Property which is populated by Resource Beans.
I have the List of Resource Beans represented in the form as a repeater-widget, with move-up, move-down buttons.
When I click one of the up/down buttons, the repeater-rows get re-arranged correctly in the form.
When I save the Album (I am using Hibernate, with cascading) the change in the ordering is not persisted.
I am clearly missing something ..... has anyone else had with a similar issue?
Any suggestions?
No need to look further: AFAIK the binding currently doesn't sync order,
it only checks for new or removed rows. So it considers the list to
which the repeater binds to be an unordered set.
I personally use only the simple-repeater binding, because the full content of the collection is in the rows (no other non-displayed field). And the simple-repeater binding starts by erasing the collection before recreating it from scratch, and in order.
