I found that the form widget was not able to do this, however it was easy to modify it to handle this case. I created an issue to address this,

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-364

I think this is a very important improvement, because without it, pagination can only be applied to reports that are entirely contained in a <view-entity>. This improvement will allow more sophisticated reports to be constructed by hand out of a subset of the list, say from multiple view entities (my current project).

Hi folks,

Is there a way to make the form widget pagination think there is a list of size 1000 when we actually pass it a list of size 20 which is a subset of the 1000 items?

I have 1000 products and my VIEW_SIZE is 20. In my script, I get the 20 values from the database according to VIEW_INDEX, then compose a complicated report for those 20 items. Then I pass this list of 20 to the form widget. The form widget thinks the total list size is 20, so it won't do pagination.

Anyone know a solution to this? (I tried using the 20 items padded with empty objects to make a list of size 1000, but this hackery is ugly.)
