I'm using the rich:column's filterMethod attribute to invoke a custom filter method. The filter uses a rich:comboBox so a user can select from a list of enumerations.
It works well.
The problem I'm having is how do I get the table or column to filter when the page loads?
For example my enumerated type has:
- All
- Selection A
- Selection B
- Selection C
When the page loads, the rich:dataTable displays all the rows bound to the datamodel. If I want the page to display Selection A as the default, how do I get the rich:dataTable or rich:column to sort on Selection A as a default value?
<rich:dataTable id="mytable" value="#{authorizationList}" var="row">
<rich:column id="myColumn" filterMethod="#{myBean.filter}">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="My Column"/><br>
<rich:comboBox id="myComboBox" value="#{myBean.filterValue}" enableManualInput="false">
<f:selectItems value="#{myBean.filterSelectItems}" />
<a4j:support event="onchange" focus="myComboBox"/>
</rich:comboBox>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="row.myProperty"/>
</rich:column>
</rich:dataTable>
The value initially bound to myBean.filterValue is "Selection A", but all rows are displayed.
