rich:calendar performance Issues in rich:dataTable

[infinity2heaven]

I'm using Seam 2.x, Richfaces 3.2.0GA

Hi, I have a data table (without pagination, for now) with a sub table. each row has a rich:calendar

<rich:dataTable value="#{performanceStrategies}" var="strategy" styleClass="hedgeTable">
....
 <rich:subTable id="md_hedgeTable" value="#{strategy.beans}" var="fundPerfDetail" >

<rich:column styleClass="hedgeTableRow">
 <rich:calendar datePattern="dd-MMM-yyyy" converter="#{dateConverter}"
 value="#{fundPerfDetail.initialInvestmentDate}" ajaxSingle="true" ignoreDupResponses="true"/>
</rich:column>

....
...

For datasets of > 15 rows, my page was taking 12-14 seconds! Initially, I thought it's a hibernate performance issue, and after several tries, I tried removing the rich:calendar tag and now it loads in 2 seconds!

This is really dissappointing.

Can anyone please suggest how to opitmise loading of rich:calendar?

you could manually set up inplace like calendar. So just create conditionally rendered output for label and calendar. And make calendar rendered via ajax after label clicked for example.

In general - yes our calendar created for every row and it could not be avoided.

It's surprising that such a simple widget in Richfaces -- calendar doesn't wokr properly. I've found from other teams and all of them have stopped using rich:calendar for precisely that reason. I'm still committed to find a resolution for this, hence the request.

Pl suggest what I could for for a better performance

Hi,

I'm using RC 3.2.1RC3 with JSP 1.2.

I 've also got a large datatable and a calendar in each row.
And i have very poor performance.

ilya_shaikovsky, could you be more precise on how could we improve our pages ?
Is there a way to use the componentControl in order to initialize only one calendar widget per page ?
