filter by for rich:dataTable for invalid filter value is not working

[atmohsin]

Hi

    I am rich:dataTable to display the list of object. I have used filterBy attribute of rich:column

This is working fine if i give the valid value for filterby which is present in the table. when i give invalid value to filterby the table is not getting reRender.if i refresh the page the table wont get display.

My difination for the table

<

rich:dataTable border="1" id=

"dataTable"

binding="#{testBean.dataTable}" width="100%"

Here i have bind the data table the bean and bean is in session scope. I try to remvoed the filter value in backing bean. But  no use. When i remve the table binding it is working fine. I need this for pagination.

If anybody have inforamtion please let me know

Thanks in advance

rendered="#{testBean.dataTable.rowCount>0}" rowClasses="row1, row2">

rows="#{testBean.pageSize}"

value="#{testBean.dataLists}" var="term"

1) Please post the full page code and the bean code if it's possible

2) Add rich:messages on your page

3) The solution like this one:

rendered="#{testBean.dataTable.rowCount>0}"

does not look good(IMHO). What do you want to do by it?

I think your problem is in the following:

rendered="#{testBean.dataTable.rowCount>0}"

and when you apply filter which does not match any entiries your dataTable won't be rendered. Don't use such an approach to hide your data table.

Thanks it is working fine. I made simple mistake.

Now i am using following rendered="#{userBean.dataListSize>0}" it is working fine

Thanks a lot
