Hi Alex,
Well here are my concerns on both areas but before I get to that I'd
like to mention that I'm developing I guess a relatively small module
but something I think is complex in terms of the amount of
functionality its providing. The idea is to have a table of data that
is retrieved from the server and displayed to the user
1) The data should be sortable/pageable
2) When the user clicks on a cell/row:
- the row gets highlighted
- the info of that row shall appear in a "editable" row below the
table where once the user makes and changes, these are reflected in
the main table
- once the user navigates to another row, the edited row should
have some sort of marker displaying that it is dirty until the save
button is clicked ( this is allowing for batch processing)
- thus when a user decides to sort/page this information would need
to be retained until the user saves.
3) The user has a drop down above the table to filter by a couple of
the columns.
I looked at ext-GWT and GWT-ext. Both seem are somewhat ok about this,
however with ext-GWT
- You can't paginate/sort on the client side if I'm not wrong and the
whole model seems to force you to do remote pagination which from what
I saw, would basically reset the data each time - so not a good option
And with GWT-ext:
I tried implementing it however, ran into some memory overflow problem
when trying to compile it. Plus, there was a file PagingMemoryProxy
that was not available in the GWT-ext library but then I later found
it in the gwtux library. Not sure why it is like that.
On the whole the problem with both ideas is that, I thought of them
more as widgets but turns out they almost completely take over your
code with a whole bunch of different things to do as opposed to
standard GWT code. So, that isn't really an attractive idea.
Alex,
What were the problems you found with PagingScrollTable? Just curious
to know since I'm trying to get an idea of what I might need/ not
need.
Thanks
Suri
