Thanks Thiago, we were trying to avoid rebuilding the beanModelSource on each render, because it is backed by a large dataset. We have modified your suggestion as shown below. Is this the best technique to persist this value like we have here, instead of constantly creating?
@Persist private BeanModel beanModel; @Inject private Messages messages; public BeanModel getBeanModel() { //setup the model for this user if (beanModel == null) { beanModel=beanModelSource.createDisplayModel(License.class, messages); beanModel.include("entered","endDate"); beanModel.add("purchase.orgUnit.name").label("Organization"); beanModel.add("purchase.product.name").label("Product"); beanModel.add("purchase.licenseType.name").label("License"); //sorting if (_grid.getSortModel().getSortConstraints().isEmpty() ) { _grid.getSortModel().updateSort("entered"); //this is still not exposed in tapestry 5.2 so you can't change order //_grid.setSortAscending(false); } } return beanModel; } On Aug 12, 2010, at 1:46 PM, Thiago wrote: > Hi! > > Try this: > > public BeanModel getBeanModel() { > beanModel=beanModelSource.createDisplayModel(License.class, > messages); > beanModel.include("entered","endDate"); > beanModel.add("purchase.orgUnit.name").label("Organization"); > beanModel.add("purchase.product.name").label("Product"); > beanModel.add("purchase.licenseType.name").label("License"); > > //sorting > if (_grid.getSortModel().getSortConstraints().isEmpty() ) { > logger.warn("sort constraints"); > _grid.getSortModel().updateSort("entered"); > //this is still not exposed in tapestry 5.2 so you > can't change order > //_grid.setSortAscending(false); > } > } > > -- > Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo > Independent Java, Apache Tapestry 5 and Hibernate consultant, developer, > and instructor > Owner, Ars Machina Tecnologia da Informação Ltda. > http://www.arsmachina.com.br _____________________ Darren Williams LiveTime Software Inc. http://www.livetime.com (949) 777 5800
