    Getting datascroller data

    juanignaciosl

      I'm a RichFaces newbie and I face a poor problem ;)

      I'm using dataTable and dataScroller. In my backing bean I have a HtmlDatascroller property. The problem is I don't know how can I get the position requested. When a user clicks one of the datascroller buttons I get the request at the server side, but I can't get which is the requested page of the table (the pressed button)?

      datascroller has one more issue: it just displays the buttons, not the actual position. Could it be related?

          In the datascroller tag there is an attribute scrollerListener that allows you to bind the component with java method that will be invoked when scrolling occures. Example:

          <rich:datascroller scrollerListener="#{test.actionList}"

          java code:

          public void actionList(DataScrollerEvent event) {
          //do something here...
          }

            I have a strange issue with the scroller. The scroll listener is not invoked the first time when scrolling occurs.

              It doesn't get triggered (the scrollerListener binding). Instead, the datatable value is. :-\

                It's working. I've tested it.

                  It is, sorry. Just a typo this time.

                  Now I can't get the index. It always return -1.

                    Well, not exactly a typo. If anybody anytime sees this, check if the action listener argument is ScrollerActionEvent. If it is, change it to ActionEvent ;)

                      Arg. It won't work. Now it doesn't even render scroller buttons. This is the code:

                      <rich:dataTable value="#{TareasPaginadorBean.tareas}"
                       var="tarea"

                       id="tareasRC2"
                       first="#{TareasPaginadorBean.posicionActual}"

                        I forgot, aditionally data columns appear twice. Please excuse the post flooding :(

                          Excuse me, simply forget duplicate columns problem. Just embarrasing :$

                            This thread is almost turning into a monologue, but I must follow trying...

                            I think the problem is I am not reading right the information received. It doesn't render page numbers right now, so I'm always pushing "next", "first" and so on. Then the event can give me nothing but the pushed facet, not the "next page _number_".

                            I think I just have to find the right way to save the state (the actual page) and everything will just work.

                            Sorry for the inconvenience, folks

                              I promise this'll be the last one till I get help or a sollution. These are my problems right now:

                              a) It doesn't show pages numbers.
                              b) It doesn't trigger scrollerListener
                              c) DataTable 'value' method in the backing bean is called twice per request.

                                In brief, I've finally managed to make it work. Suggestion:

                                For the server side use Tomahawk myfaces-cars.zip example. I've modified it to work with Spring plus Hibernate. The only thing you should know is that you'll need one more getter in your BB which returns model.getWrappedData to the rich faces pager.

                                If anybody is interested, this is my code for both Tomahawk and RichFaces pagers:
