Sorting by locale in FacesContext for strings (SortableModel)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TOMAHAWK-864
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-864
Project: MyFaces Tomahawk
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Extended Datatable
Reporter: Tomislav Jakopec
Priority: Trivial
I have small problem and I don't now how to handle.
So far I write my own Comparator in witch I sorted according to Collator with
locale form FacesContext
Collator collator = Collator.getInstance(
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getLocale());
My sort order was fine, Croatian letters where sorted alphabet.
Now there is possibility to tel whole datatable sortable="true" and I don't
have to write commandSortHeader tag.
Problem: sort is alphabet in english language, not croatian and
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getLocale() is croatian
The solution:
If you look in the org.apache.myfaces.component.html.ext.SortableModel (inner
class Comp), the default comparator that is used to sort the values in a given
column, will compare the values as Comparable if they implement that interface,
if not it will compare them as simple strings, obtained by toString().
This makes me think that the usage of the Collator class to compare those
strings would do it, thanks for pointing that out, btw. It would be great if
you could open a Jira issue for this, and even greater, if possible, to provide
a patch, it would be of great help having this resolved faster.
