Re: Why is SortParam.getProperty generic?

I use sort parameters of type FieldTable where field is a meta data type describing a field in (or reachable through joins from) the table represented by the Table class. My data provider then uses the currently selected Field to create the ORDER BY part of the SQL. Cheers, Jesse On

I was just about to answer my own question. We migrated a big part of our application to use LambdaJ instead of PropertyModels. With getProperty being generic it's now possible to use it instead of passing around strings. Thanks, Jochen On Sat, Nov 17, 2012 at 4:01 PM, Jochen Mader
