Hi Jonathon,

Is anybody using service performFindList?
That service returns the actual list size (in context as "listSize"),
and a possibly smaller list (FastList). The problem is that when this
list gets to the ModelForm.java (method getListLimits()), the context
value "listSize" is totally ignored, and the list size is gotten from
the partial list returned by performFindList. Obviously, this is wrong,
since the actual list size IS NOT the size of the partial list!
If I'm not wrong, some time ago a new attribute has been added (to the
<form> element?) to specify a non default field (or value) containing
the actual list size... I think you should find it in the xsd file.
If I am allowed to fix the problem right here, in ModelForm.java, the
following questions are moot.
I have another question, about service performFind.
In Minilang, how do I take the EntityIterator returned by that service,
calculate some additional values, and slap on those values into the list
elements to be displayed in the UI listings output as an additional
column? For eg, I may have a simple logic like "if product name is
profane, display a big label VULGAR, else display a small label Mild".
I'd want a product listing that has the additional column called
"Vulgarity alert".
I think you can use the <row-actions> section in your form widget
definition; it is similar to the <actions> section but the actions in
the former are run for each and every row in the list.

OR...
Can I get the Widget Form renderer to look at 2 lists with the same
sizes, and simply combine them, like "row 1 of list A with row 1 of list
B, and row 2 with row 2..."?
If I can somehow massage the EntityIterator from service performFind, I
won't have to use performFindList.
Or should I just go for freemarker macros in such cases?
Thanks.
Jonathon
