rich:EXTENDEDdataTable filterBy contains instead of startsWith

[eugenbesel]

Hello everyone,

in demo:

http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/dataTable.jsf?tab=modifiableDataModel&cid=4545363

I see that filterBy can also use contains instead of startsWith conditions.

In the example code I dont see any advice on this conditions.

can anybody tell me, how I can switch from startWith to contains condition??

is there only a flag for it, or should I implement the own filter condition?

thank you

check filterMethod and filterExpression usage.

hello Ilja,

thank you for your advice. I took a look at this example.

I saw, that the filter Method take a Objectvalue.

public boolean filterStates(Object current) {
        Capital currentCapital = (Capital)current;
        if (filterValue.length()==0) {
            return true;
        }
        if (currentCapital.getState().toLowerCase().startsWith(filterValue.toLowerCase())) {
            return true;
        }else {
            return false;
        }
    }

and this method is used in jsp. like <rich:column filterMethod="#{filteringBean.filterStates}">

how about <rich:columns ...

without filterMethod I made:

<rich:columns id="col_#{col}" value="#{searchModul.columns}"
                 var="col" index="ind"
                 filterBy="#{data[ind]}" filterEvent="onkeyup" sortBy="#{data[ind]}"
                 sortOrder="#{searchModul.sortOrders[col]}"
                filterValue="#{searchModul.columnFilterValues[col]}">

with Bean:

public Map<String, Object> getColumnFilterValues() {
        return columnFilterValues;
    }

    public void setColumnFilterValues(Map<String, Object> columnFilterValues) {
        this.columnFilterValues = columnFilterValues;
    }

so how should it work with filterMethod ????

thank you for your answer.
