HtmlExtendedDataTable class RF4M5

[jomann]

I am trying to save the table state on an extendedDataTable element using RF4M5. In RF3 I can use the HtmlExtendedDataTable class for value binding but in RF4M5 the HtmlExtendedDataTable class is not available so my question is how do I save the table state?

Thanks in advance,

Jodi

The RichFace 4 reference guide(http://docs.jboss.org/richfaces/latest_4_0_X/Component_Reference/en-US/html/) references the HtmlExtendedDataTable class but it is not included in the richfaces-components-ui-4.0.0.20101226-M5.jar

What am I missing? Should I be including a different jar file?

Thanks,

Jodi

I have the same problem with M6.

I think you need to use the org.richfaces.component.UIExtendedDataTable class

yup use UI class.

and consider next from JSF 2 specification:

Component bindings are often used in conjunction with JavaBeans that are dynamically instantiated via the Managed

Bean Creation facility (see Section 5.8.1 “VariableResolver and the Default VariableResolver”). It is strongly

recommend that application developers place managed beans that are pointed at by component binding expressions in

“request” scope. This is because placing it in session or application scope would require thread-safety, since

UIComponent instances depends on running inside of a single thread. There are also potentially negative impacts on

memory management when placing a component binding in “session” scope.

So I do not recommend to store all the component in session or at least replace with table state saving after http://jira.jboss.org/browse/RF-10442 will be resolved.
