For example now I tried to put the filter on dbfrom tag plus the dbfilter tag,
but the former is TOO static and it's impossible for the user to change the
filtering criteria.
Well you could define the filter on dbform tag to be your default like:
String default =dob="1/1/2000"; String myfilter;
if (request.getParameter("year_of_birth)!=null){ myfilter="dob="+(request.getParameter("year_of_birth"); }else myfilter=default;
Then set a goToButton to navigate to the current record. And then set a field in your form to allow user input <textarea name="year_of_birth"></textarea> or some such way
And I think you would have a default filter that allowed user input.
Of course you'd need also <db:dbform filter=<%=myfilter%>
Bet you already knew that though. -- Shawn
