Data Table Sorting still not working

[Mike]

Hi Geeta , (Sorry I got your name wrong before....) Below was a typo. Sorry. It should have been Persons, not getPersons. I tried to replace TD with a longer name but that didn't help. I'm baffled. The "hard" stuff, the programming, is so easy compared to just "hooking up" the Data Table component. I've now spent another day on this and have gotten nowhere. For some reason, the commandSortHeader is just not working. I've also tried to download a fresh "myfaces-all.jar" in case that was it. And, I've tried to disable my firewall software. No dice. When I compare the sample to what I have, they seem identically set up. Of course, I can't yet verify the sample would run here either. I suppose what I'll need to do is get the example installed an working. I'm afraid that will be as difficult as what I'm facing now with all the config file tweaks and such. Thanks very much for your help!!!     Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 12/30/2005 12:36:39 PM: > Hi Gretta! > > Thanks for your reply. > Please see my comments in-line below.... > > Mine is:  value ="#{TD.getPersons}"   > Shouldn't you simply have "#{TD.persons}" ? Here's what i have: <t:dataTable id="contactsearchdata" styleClass="scrollerTable"         headerClass="standardTable_BgWhiteHeader"         footerClass="standardTable_Header"         rowClasses="standardTable_Row1,standardTable_Row2"         columnClasses="standardTable_ColumnCentered,standardTable_Column,standardTable_Column,standardTable_ColumnCentered,standardTable_ColumnCentered,standardTable_ColumnCentered"         var="contact"       value="#{search.matchingContacts}"         rows="7"         rowId="#{contact.id}"         sortColumn="#{search.sort}"         sortAscending="#{search.ascending}"         preserveSort="true"> Also, if all else fails, try replacing your name "TD" with something else. I remember (though this was a long time ago!) short names which were capitalised created trouble with reflection.. > > > Strange, huh? > >     Mike Regards, Geeta (..umm.. not "Gretta" ;))
