RE: Display Tag, Tiles and Paging

[Raible, Matt]

Here's what I do as a workaround for this.  I'm sure you could easily
enhance this to convert all your request parameters into a URL with
name/value pairs.

<%@ include file="/common/taglibs.jsp"%>
<%@ page import="org.apache.struts.util.MessageResources,
                 org.apache.struts.Globals"%>

<% 
MessageResources resources = 
    (MessageResources) request.getAttribute(Globals.MESSAGES_KEY); 
String searchTerm = "";
String action = request.getParameter("action");
if ("search".equalsIgnoreCase(action)) {
    if (request.getParameter("searchBy") != null) {
        searchTerm = "&amp;searchBy="+request.getParameter("searchBy");
    }
}
%>

<%-- For linking to edit screen --%>
<bean:struts id="thisURL" forward="searchChangeRequests"/>
<bean:struts id="editURL" forward="editChangeRequest"/>

<display:table name="userCrList" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
    requestURI='<%=request.getContextPath()+thisURL.getPath()+searchTerm%>'
    scope="request" pagesize="20" styleClass="list">


HTH,

Matt

Subject: Display Tag, Tiles and Paging


I have an ArrayList that is a collection of JavaBeans containing three
attributes id, name, ssn.  It is working well with the display column like
this:

<div>
    <display:table name="results" width="45%" pagesize="10" cellpadding="3"
cellspacing="0" border="0"  requestURI="/SearchForm.do" summary="Table
summary - Listing of medical records contained in docbase for the given
name">
       <display:column property="name" title="Name" sort="true"  />
       <display:column property="ssn" title="SSN" sort="true"
autolink="true"  paramId="rid" paramProperty="id" href="/GetObjectByRid" />
     <display:setProperty name="sort.behavior" value="list" />
     <display:setProperty name="paging.banner.include_first_last"
value="true" />
    </display:table>
</div>

The paging and sorting do not work.  It seems that I need to give it a
requestURI parameter, but this causes the app to loose the request scoped
values (the name that was searched on).  It appends on some new URI
parameters (page, order and sort).  I found some examples on the developers
site that allowed me to get this far but nothing on what needs to be in
place before-hand to make this work.  Also tiles definitions do not work in
the requestURI parameter.

Thanks,
-Mark
