baddeley84 Oct 29, 2013 8:31 AM (in response to asterisco69)1 of 1 people found this helpfulIf you are using the rich:dataTable, its probably slow because the default filters used in RF 3.x do not use database pagination so although you may only be looking at 10 items in the table, the backing bean will have actually loaded the entire table from the database and then presents you with a filtered view.
I got around this by developing a new 'paged list' class that allows pagination based on this blog entry http://backtothefront.net/blog/2010/08/27/richfacesseam-server-side-paging-datatabledatascroller/
Actually works quite well and improves performance for large tables

asterisco69 Oct 29, 2013 4:34 PM (in response to baddeley84)Thanks for the tip David, actually i have a couple of catalogs (for example product sales, accounting accounts, and so on) that normally have like 17000 rows and exactly as you said, it loads the entire list even when you only see the first X rows (normally 10). I gonna check and implement your solution in the catalogs that have more rows, i'm thinking about writing some abstract classes based on your ItemsBean class just to inherit the methods to the controllers that needs them.

asterisco69 Oct 29, 2013 5:11 PM (in response to asterisco69)Well, i tried it and it works excellent, the only problem is that column filters doesnt work, i think because when i enter a criteria search in the column filters, it searchs it in the current X rows that i'm seeing. It would be awesome if when i use the filters it could re-run the query, but in order to do that i would have to embed the filter parameters to the HQL query.

baddeley84 Oct 29, 2013 5:29 PM (in response to asterisco69)Yes unfortunately you cannot use named parameters in the 'where' clause with HQL, I normally end up have a few different query's for each filter
Glad it worked ok, btw. I think PrimeFaces has database pagination built in to their datatables?

asterisco69 Oct 31, 2013 4:54 PM (in response to baddeley84)Also i wanna talk you about some of the problems that our apps have, to see if you know about what the problem is or if you have a clue. The main problems are:
- When i have a rich data table, even tables with 100 rows or something like that, filters doesn't work nor pagination.
- When i press a button that does an action like update, insert or delete a register (in a detail form) it doesn't react. Maybe after a while, if i press it again, it works.
- In general, applications are slow
Our applications are at a certain point normal, i mean, it's just a web app built in seam 2 that inserts, deletes, updates and queries against a postgresql database, it doesn't do complex calculations or things that require extreme process, our database doesn't have stored procedures or jobs running. This happens after some hours of working, if i restart the server after restarting it applications works normally without problems, it's something like degenerating with the time. This is the output when i type command top on linux:

And also recently i activated remote monitoring with visualVM, but honestly i don't know how to read or interpret the graphics. There are some screenshots.
I know that it may sound like, i don't know, like "solve my problem" but it isn't, i'm just worried about this because it worries me that our server doesn't support the load and we weren't able to host more applications without fearing that apps will become slower or non functional, and even when i know how to program in JAVA i don't have knowledge about how to monitor apps or determine a bottleneck in our apps or interpret heaps and things like that, so any help, guide or clue will be appreciated.

baddeley84 Nov 1, 2013 5:08 PM (in response to asterisco69)I think you will need to dig into the code to troubleshoot this, how is the application packaged? .ear or .war? how long does the server take to startup?
Personally it sounds like the database has outgrown the application and you will need to start looking at your database queries to see where the bottlenecks are, are you using Hibernate?
If you dont want to dig into the code there are tools you can use to see which SQL queries are causing problems (I have used NewRelic for this)
You may also want to check how much data is being stored in the HTTP session (Conversation / Session scoped components) as this will slow things down

asterisco69 Nov 1, 2013 11:57 PM (in response to baddeley84)Thanks for your answer David. The applications are EAR. Right now there are 5 applications hosted in the server, and the startup time is short, like 1 minute (i think that is a short startup time, but correct me if i'm wrong) . I'm using JPA with Hibernate. Also i'm going to check that tool New Relic. About data stored in the HTTP session, where i can see that? In the browser with some tool like Firebug in Firefox? Or is on the server side, using VisualVM or another tool?
About what you said of database outgrown, you talk about size? becuase the size of the biggest databases that we have is like 40mb - 60mb, which i consider very small, but i will start looking database queries, i gonna log them in postgresql log.
Regards.
