[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DISPL-203?page=comments#action_38152 ] Narayanan A commented on DISPL-203: -----------------------------------
Hello, I managed to solve this one with some work-aound. There is a condition in the compare method of RowSorter class, this logic checks for the decorator and the getterMethod of the property. If a getterMethod is found for the property it uses the decorated value for sorting and not the underlying object. In my case the underlying object was java.util.Date ,but it was always sorting based on the decorated value instead of the object. Please find my work-around for this problem. Added a new dummy Property with attribute sortProperty=originalProperty and added a getterMethod for the dummyProperty in my decorator class. Please find the attached file work-around.txt. Can we have an attribute something like "sortByObject=true" in future release, so that we need not have to do any work around and decide the sorting pattern at the tag level. > Date Sorting with Table Decorator > --------------------------------- > > Key: DISPL-203 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DISPL-203 > Project: DisplayTag > Type: Bug > Components: Decorators > Versions: 1.0 > Reporter: Narayanan A > Attachments: Decorator.txt, work-around.txt > > Original Estimate: 1 minute > Remaining: 1 minute > > Hello, > I have been using display tag with column decorators in my project, recently > there was case where we have to use the value in session to decide on the > decoration of a column, As column decorator isn't supporting PageContext as > of v1.0, i switched to Table decorator,everything works fine except sorting > of Date Object Columns.
