I would be interested in getting a feel for those developers who
would be interested in a dynamic table renderer that allows for
automatic sorting across a single or multiple columns and the ability
to redisplay only the table using Frank Zametti's AjaxTags (it can do
it as a whole page to, but that is just wasteful!). I've been
evolving one over several years and it would be but a days work to
get it generic enough to make available to others.
I'm sure there are other solutions out there; there definitely is one
by Bill Siggelkow in his 'Jakarta Struts Cookbook'. This solution is
a more encompassing, removing the need to have to hard code the
ordering in your action, it can be specified via XML or just left to
the renderer to work it out based on the underlying Class of the bean
(assuming there is only one) within the collection.
Anyways, can I just ask any of those who are interested to give me a
yay (or nay) so I get a gist as to whether I am wasting my time or not?
