I believe that I have figured out my issue using the proposed method
below and sorting. In order to remove the form fields from the
generated query string I set the parameter excludedParams to "*" to
exclude everything. This seems to also exclude the sort parameters. I
was not expecting this as it does not exclude the page paramter.
I would still be interested in hearing how people have used DisplayTag
to submit editable tables.
Thanks,
Ken

Subject: [displaytag-user] [Q] Submitting Form when Paging and Sorting
I am using DisplayTag to display a table which contains some editable
fields. My DisplayTag table is wrapped in a form. When a user chooses
to page the results or sort the results, I would also like to submit the
form.
I have looked the mailing list and found some vaugue references but most
of the links provided in the responses no longer work. I have also seen
plenty of comments on almost each every question of this kind on how
this is not a good UI practice. Understood, so please spare those
emails.
I am sure and have seen that others have supposedly done this. However,
I have not really seen much detail on how. I would like to hear how
people have been accomplishing this.
My current plan is to use the fact that when display tag locates a "#"
in the requestURI, it places the query string when building the paging
and sorting linksbefore the "#". So I was thinking of using a
requestURI that calles a javascript function. Something like:
javascript:myFunction('#'); which would then become something like :
javascript:myFunction('?page=2#'); I can then parse the string for the
query parameters, set them in the form and submit.
This seems to work but I am ghaving some difficulty with sorting. For
some reason, DisplayTag is only adding the page parameter and not the
sorting parameters when I do it this way.
Thanks in advance,
Ken
