Thanks for the reply ...
I tried doing this :
class MyDataProvider extends ListDataProvider {
DataDao dataDao;
Criteria criteria;
public MyDataProvider(List list, Criteria criteria) {
super(list);
...
}
//providing my own iterator which goes to the dataDao and gets the data
//But now I cannot set the list, because private... So I have to use my
own list member...If I do that, then what is the point of calling the
constructor with List?
}
Looks like ListDataProvider is not useful for reusable Lists. Not sure why
this should be so ? If I am able to set a new List into the provider, I
would not be breaking anything because the data is anyway retrieved only via
an Iterator.
The problem is even if I create a new ListDataProvider for every new list, I
am not able to set that again in my data view. DataView does not have any
thing similar to setList (a la ListView.setList). I dont think I should be
creating a new DataView for every search, because all i'm doing is only
changing contents of the underlying list.
Am I missing something ?
