No - i do not implement the methods prior 1.1.4pre2. Should we?

Yes! Sometimes filter cant't be done with sql only!!!

Or sum values. Or just merge some columns wich can not be merged in sql....

This attribute transports the rownum between the interceptor calls.
The interceptor object is created new before call of a pre.... Interceptor.
So information of the rownum would be lost between the calls of the
interceptor.
So the solution is to put it into the interceptor data. This is the same for
all calls of the
preSelect
preAdd
postAdd
....
postSelect
cycle!

It's a new tag. It has nearly the same attributes as the textField.
Difference:
textField renders the contents of an object from the current row of the
resultsetvector.
textFormat renders the contents of a variable defined somewhere in the
context. So you can calculate a value in your jsp, store this into the
pageContext and use the textFormat tag to format it with the settings used
in dbforms - with locale support.

I will make an howto ....
After finishing my current project where i need this feature...

Yes. And we don't need the <header/> tag. The older versions do not work
without this tags - they are required.
Even if you do not want to render anything.
Now you can miss them if you do not need them. I think this is more
failprove.

Thanks for the hint Shawn! I built!
