sortBy not working....

[janepepo]

I am getting a resultList from a query. I am using it to sort a rich:column. The sortBy does not seem to work. Any help is appreciated.

I get an empty list after I click on sort.

<rich:dataTable
 onRowMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#F1F1F1'"
 onRowMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#{a4jSkin.tableBackgroundColor}'"
 value='#{bR.resultList}' var='brs' id="br">

<rich:column sortBy="#{brs.brTitle}">
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="#{messages.brTitle}" />
 </f:facet>
 <h:outputLink
 value="#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/brDetail/#{brs.brId}">
 <a4j:support event="onclick" actionListener="#{listBr.selectedBrRecv(brs.brId)}"/>
 <h:outputText value="#{brs.brTitle}" styleClass="bold" rendered="#{!listBr.isViewedBrRecv(brs.brId)}"/>
 </rich:column>

Thanks,

J

I get an empty list after I click on sort.

try to debug the table data population after sort.

b.t.w. could be usefull to check our models usage at richfaces demo.

have you checked by putting attributes sortMode and sortable = "true" ?

you can first remove <h:outputLink> and <a4j:support > and rendered property and just checked if sorting is working or not means can get if there is any problem with data model..then put those to check if UI has any problem...

Ilya,

Table gets populated initially. However, it is empty after the sort. Do you mean debug using Firebug?

[ilya_shaikovsky]

no I meant the server side model population.

Thanks, Ilya. Got it working. My next question is how do I control clicks on the sort icon. Something like eventsQueue?

[ilya_shaikovsky]

how do I control clicks on the sort icon

again describe please more carefully what you need to acieve.

[janepepo]

If I click on the sort icon many times in a shoet span of time, I get errors saying that entityManager is null. I need to control it like eventsQueue for ajax4jsf.

Use a4j:queue component.
