I just implemented this. Not sure if it's too kludgy for you but:
1. Change the 'paging.banner.page.link'. This setting is normally found in
the displaytag.properties file. Copy-paste it (don't comment it out,
otherwise none of your pages will have paging links) it in your jsp, just
inside the table tag. It will over-ride the properties file setting for this
page:
<display:setProperty name="paging.banner.page.link">
a href=jvascipt:doSubmit("{1}") title=Go to page {0}>{0}
</display:setProperty>
NOTE: The href above is intentionally mis-spelled. Otherwise it would get
eaten up by the editor. The a href is missing the opening '<' and ... well,
you know how to spell javascript ... :)
2. In your javascript doSubmit() function, you have to do two things, submit
the form (with all of your search criteria fields already inside) and set
the 'd-xxxxxxx-p' value, which is the current page of results. Since
'xxxxxxx' is dynamic you can't simply stick it statically in your form as a
hidden field. You have to do it dynamically. I did it by passing {1} to my
doSubmit() function (as you can see above). This is the NAME of the page
parameter AND the value. The doSubmit() function gets something like
'd-xxxxxxx-p=3'. So you have to split the string up into two pieces - name
and value, and add the hidden field to your form with the proper name and
value. Something like this:
function doSubmit(params)
{
pagingParamAndValue=params.substring(1,params.indexOf('&'));
pagingParamAndValueArr = pagingParamAndValue.split('=');
htmlStr = "<input type='hidden' name='" + pagingParamAndValueArr[0] + "'
value='" +
pagingParamAndValueArr[1] + "'>";
var ps = document.getElementById('pagingSpan');
ps.innerHTML=htmlStr;
document.forms[0].submit();
}
'pagingSpan' is nothing more than en empty span that you stick the hidden
field into. Make sure it is WITHIN the form tag. Et voila. Instead of doing
a GET it will do a POST with all of your params and the all-important
d-xxxxxxx-p param as well!
Hope this helps!
