ScrollableDataTable built in Sorting does not work.

[lemonchik]

Hello!

I have a simple Code in order to test:

 <rich:scrollableDataTable id="test" rowKeyVar="rkv" sortMode="single" var="text" value="#{testBean.textList}">
 <rich:column id="text" sortBy="#{text}">
 <f:facet name="header" >
 <h:outputText value="Sort"></h:outputText>
 </f:facet>
 <h:outputText value="#{text}"></h:outputText>
 </rich:column>
</rich:scrollableDataTable>

but it doesn't works. The same code is working by <rich:dataTable> und <rich:extendedDataTable> as expected.

Have I to use a sorting feature by scrollableDataTabe in another way?

( I'm using RichFaces 3.2.2 )

Thanks!

I found the problem out. The Sorting is working if i have the plain objects only. I hit on problems by using nested objects. I suppose the column ID cannot be resolved correctly.

For example:

<rich:scrollableDataTable rowKeyVar="rkv"
value="#{customerHandler.personList}"
var="customer"
sortMode="single">

<rich:column id="lastName" width="120px">
<f:facet name="header"><h:outputText value="Lastname" /></f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{customer.lastName}" />
</rich:column>

<rich:column id="street" width="120px">
<f:facet name="header"><h:outputText value="Street" /></f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{customer.address.street}" />
</rich:column>

</rich:scrollableDataTable>

The first column will be sorted, but the second will not.

Has anybody any ideas ???

You should use sortExpression attribute for column inside scrollableDataTable instead of sortBy.
Like:
<rich:column id="street" width="120px" sortExpression ="#{customer.address.street}">
<f:facet name="header"><h:outputText value="Street" /></f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{customer.address.street}" />
</rich:column>
