Re: [displaytag-devel] Editable fields with display tag

[John York]

I think the problem with us not implementing this is that we are all 
terribly busy with other commitments right now. I got involoved with 
this project last year to help it provide the functionality that I 
needed. It already does everything I need for my job. I think that we've 
focused too much on making everything backward compatible with the 
previous version of the displaytag library....many features which don't 
need direct displaytag support anymore. The goal of the displaytag 
library was to do just as the name implies: display data. We've done that.

I think the whole group would welcome any additional help, but I think 
the big thing we need right now is to set our direction and decide what 
we need to be working on. I think we still need to do a bit of 
refactoring to clean up the design to be closer to a real MVC 
implementation. Doing that may make it easier to include newer features 
such as editable tables.

We seem to have many feature requests for things that I don't believe 
should be a part of our core library. I think what we need to do is try 
to organize them and refactor the existing library to help us implement 
these new features. If any of you would like to contribute in this way, 
then I think most of the developers would be more than willing to offer 
their input and get things moving again. Personally, I'm planning a 
wedding in June, so most of my free time is already spent. I try to keep 
discussions going on this list when I can. We all appreciate the 
comments and help.

Hi guys,

I started off today looking for a tag library that allows you to have 
editable fields such as checkboxes in table that can be sorted, paged, 
and the state saved when paging just as you guys have described.

The only candidate i could find was htmltable, its implementation is 
not as elegant as the displaytag but it seemed like the only option.

I agree we Dr. Tolga Yalcinkaya, and Steven melzer, that this is a 
feature that many people need to implement. Why is it being left out 
of the display tag?

 I plan on using Dr T work, but i was just wondering where i could an 
update of this work as the war file under tracker seems to be over 6 
mths old?

Regards

Mark
