Re: [Wicket-user] Data Provider vs. ListView

[Igor Vaynberg]

dataprovider is made for working with large data sets where it is too expensive to load the enire dataset into memory at once. dataprovider allows you to only retrieve the window of the dataset you are going to display.

if you have a list of 40 items and it is not expensive to load it you might as well use a listview.

Hello, as a Wicket novice I'm trying to figure out the differences between DataProvider and ListView. What I need to do is simply read a table of ~40 rows, display them on the screen with pagination and sorting, and provide an easy way for the user to select multiple rows (probably using checkboxes) and perform a delete of those rows.

Is there any reason why I should use ListView over DataProvider or vice versa?

Thanks!
