[displaytag-user] Paging Issue in Portlets (snapshot 1.1)

[ubo_rules]

Hi everyone,

I am working on a display tag table in a JSR portlet (using Websphere portal server 5.1)

I am using displaytag and displaytag-portlet libs in snapshot 1.1.  I got displaytag.properties setup as described in <http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/11/portlet.html>.

 

I have the following code for a table with sorting and paging capabilities in a JSP file:

 

<display:table list="<%=PersonCreator.createPersonList()%>" pagesize="2" sort="list">
    <display:column property="firstName" title="First Name" sortable="true" headerClass="sortable"/>
    <display:column property="lastName" title="Last Name" sortable="true" headerClass="sortable"/>
     <display:column property="age" title="Age" sortable="true"/>
</display:table>

 

I thought I had it working.  But, I soon realised that only the first page gets sorted.  When I navigate to the second page I get unsorted data.

 

For example if I have the following two pages before sorting

 

Page 1 (before sorting)
~~~~~~
name | age
---------
aaa  | 0
yyy  | 0

 

Page 2 (before sorting)
~~~~~~
name | age
---------
bbb  | 0
zzz  | 0

 

 

I get the folloing after sorting by Name

Page 1 (after sorting)
~~~~~~~
name | age
---------
aaa  | 0
bbb  | 0

 

Page 2 (after sorting)
~~~~~~~
name | age
---------
bbb  | 0
zzz  | 0

 

Hence page 2 is not affected by the sort .

 

 

When I tried the same thing outside a portal environment (in Tomcat), using the more or less the same JSP page everything worked as it should.

 

I would appreciate any help, or links to any examples of displayTag-1.1 in portal pages.

 

Thanks,

-Udesh

 

PS:I also noticed that the display-tag libs I am using didn't have DISPL-272 fixed (clicking next goes to last page).  Although I doubt it, is there any chance that these are related?
