Hi, you are correct, I don't do client/server pagination.  I did not want to
do this.  It adds another layer of complexity that I didn't want.  I happen
to know that my app will only return results in the hundreds to lower
thousands range, and I found a perfect match between this and the
PagingScrollTable loading it all in memory.  If you try the live demo --
even 10,000 rows loads fast (~1.5 s).  Increase it ten-fold though, and
that's where the breaking point seems to be.  I'm fairly certain that this
application won't ever need client/server pagination, but if some day it
does -- it isn't a huge tear up.  It is a simple design tradeoff --
following the YAGNI principle here.

It just so happened that my GWT-RPC service returned an ArrayList<Model> --
so, that ended up being the public input to this widget.  But, as you saw, I
throw it away and index it by id in the map.  You don't have to do this,
obviously.  It provides an easy way for me to retrieve the original object.
 I did not try pagingScrollTable.geRowValue(rowIdx); -- why? probably b/c I
didn't see the API.  Maybe it works, and the map is unnecessary.  I'll try
it out later -- thanks for pointing it out!

Regards,
Davis
