Greetings - This problem is a little tough to explain so bear with me...
By default, the DisplayTag library assumes that you just want your data (which
can comprise 1 or more columns) in a single logical column. So say I display
check numbers and check dates as follows:
10000 (01/01/2005)
10001 (01/02/2005)
10002 (01/03/2005)
...
This does not take advantage of the real-estate of the web page. It would be
much better to display the data like this:
10000 (01/01/2005) 10001 (01/02/2005) 10002 (01/03/2005)
10003 (01/04/2005)
10004 (01/05/2005) 10005 (01/06/2005) 10006 (01/07/2005)
10007 (01/08/2005)
...
So you have in this case 2 logical columns of data, with each column of data
represented by 2 columns of information (check # and date) if you will. I
cannot
seem to find way to set this scenario up. I thought you could do something
like this:
<display:table name="<%=checks%>" id="check" length="<%=checks.size()%>"
pagesize="25" offset="0">
<display:column title="">
<jsp:getProperty name="check" property="checkNumber" />
(<jsp:getProperty name="check" property="checkDateStr"
/>)
</display:column>
<display:column title="">
<jsp:getProperty name="check" property="checkNumber" />
(<jsp:getProperty name="check" property="checkDateStr"
/>)
</display:column>
</display:table>
But this does not work. You end up with this:
10000 (01/01/2005) 10000 (01/01/2005) 10001 (01/02/2005)
10001 (01/02/2005)
10002 (01/03/2005) 10002 (01/03/2005)
...
Each collection item is duplicated twice, since the <display:column> tag has
no way of incrementing to the next item in the collection. Iterating throught
the collection only takes place at the <display:table> level, not
the <display:column> level.
Help - Is there a way to display multiple logical columns of data (as in my
example above) ?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Mark
