Its probably not required for "pure" wicket applications - but when wicket is used with "legacy" or some other applications, it may be required. My particular usecase is actually for Ofbiz(http://ofbiz.apache.org). There is information on HttpSession/HttpRequest attributes that Ofbiz stores that I need to refer to get the next set of items. Not sure how familiar you are with ofbiz but I particularly need EntityEngine delegator object which is the DAL starting point and is stored in request/session.
I can also think of scenarios where ppl may want to use the same dataprovider class instead of creating a separate one for different "type" of data to be fetched. e.g. Getting products by manufacturers or getting products by subcategory. I know the best practice would be to create a dataprovider factory and create separate instances for each - but if it was just as simple as 2 if statements to fetch the next set of items based on what the "id" was (mfg or subcategory) in the request same data provider can potentially be used. igor.vaynberg wrote: > > what is the actual use case? sounds a bit weird when you say those > things for a wicket app > > -igor > > > On Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 4:00 PM, Ritz123 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> I am using SortableDataProvider and have a need to access request >> attributes >> to get the next set of "items".
