Ok -- so upgrading from before 1.1.4pr2, no interceptor changes need to
be made anymore.

Great. We can count our rows.

One question -- this line in BookstoreCalcFieldAndSearchInterceptor

Integer oRowNum = (Integer) data.getAttribute("ROWNUM");

should it be ... data.getAttribute("ROW_NUM");
I can't figure out where "ROWNUM" is from -- it's not in the config file

Ok works in conjuction with the setCustomFormatter tag.  Is there an
example.  I mean how is it used compared to the customFormatter
attribute in the textField tag already.

What exactly do you mean by carry the data around?  

Also, what is meant by "it's possible to omit the inner tags."  -- we
don't need <footer/> for instance?

English question -- I build = "I will build" or "I built".  I think you
mean I built because there are new test pages there or do you mean more
are coming?
