rich:column filterMethod does not work

[rikigr4]

Hi,

I am trying to filter fields in data table.

here is my jsp code:

<a4j:form>

<rich:dataTable value="#{loadedJobsBean.lJobs}"

rendered="#{loadedJobsBean.thereAreJobs}" var="job" id="table" rows="7">

<f:facet name="header">

<rich:columnGroup>

<rich:column colspan="9">

<h:outputText value="Loaded Jobs" />

</rich:column>

<rich:column breakBefore="true">

<h:outputText value="#{loadedJobsBean.colID}" />

</rich:column>

<rich:column filterMethod="#{loadedJobsBean.filterJobName}"

style="width:40px">

<h:outputText value="#{loadedJobsBean.colUser}" />

<h:inputText id="userIn" value="#{loadedJobsBean.filterValue}">

<a4j:support event="onkeyup" reRender="table"

ignoreDupResponses="true" requestDelay="200" focus="userIn" />

</h:inputText>

</rich:column>

here is the Bean:

public boolean filterJobName(Object current) {

Job currentJob = (Job) current;

if (filterValue.length() == 0) {

return true;

}

if (currentJob.getName().toLowerCase().startsWith(filterValue.toLowerCase())) {

return true;

} else {

return false;

}

}

the problem is that it never entersto the  filterJobName in the bean - which is the filterMethod in the jsp.

What should I do?

Thanks!!
