you were right on both remarks. I now tried "model=dataModel" but still model --> null. could it be (just guessing here) that grid.dataModel isn't initialized (and thus null) on the moment an action event goes off in the gridcolumns-class?
anyway I looked further in the GridColumns-class and there's a field: @Parameter(value = "componentResources.container") private GridModelProvider _dataProvider; through this the original GridColumns-class is asking for the datamodel i wanted to get, for instance: public List<String> getColumnNames() { return _dataProvider.getDataModel().getPropertyNames(); } however when i try to access the field in the same manner in my action-event handler I keep getting null: void onActionFromSort(String columnId) { for (String name : _dataProvider.getDataModel().getPropertyNames()) { //some code.. } } It must be the time of accessing this field in the component life-cycle that causes this problem I guess. Is this correct? And how to workaround this issue?
