extendedDataTable database pagination

[gonzalad]

Sorry, this is a stupid question, but I didn't found if it pwas possible to do database pagination with extendedDatatable.

I want when the user scrolls down the extendedDatatable, the component to make an ajax call in order to fetch following rows from database just like scrollableDataTable component.

Did I miss something and 'dynamically fetching of rows from the server when a table is scrolled up and down' is a feature unique of scrollableDataTable and not extendedDatatable ?

Thanks for your insight !

Hello,

That's right, AJAX rows fetching is a unique feature of rich:scrollableDataTable component.

Thanks very much for your answer !

Just 2 more little questions ;) :
1. In this case, I think I should use rich:datascroller with extendedDatatable for database pagination (just like a basic rich:dataTable). Am I right ?
2. Could extendedDatatable evolve in the future to include the scollable feature from scrollableDataTable (the feature looks nice, extendedDatatable looks also really nice - so 2 goodies instead of one ;) ) ? If yes where can I ask for this feature (in the wiki of components wish list or in JIRA ?)

Thanks once more

1. Yes
2. Why not use rich:scrollableDataTable?

Good question ! I've just showed extendedDatatable demo (from RF demo site) to my client and they prefered it because of :
- looks nicer.
- possibility to filter column (components in the header).

I'll give a try to scrollableDataTable before asking unnecessary enhancements ;)).

Thanks !
