I thought it might be helpful to post a couple of methods. I am hoping to find a workaround for this one and move on.
Sorry this post turned into a twisted two kinda issue. Fist it was the missing DIV and now its the CollectionGridDataSource. My form properties are using @Persist because I want them to stick. Thanks for your patience @SetupRender public void setupRender() { beanType = rowClass = PlayerStats.class; collection = new ArrayList( TynamoUTIL.loadCollectionByYearAndLeagueAndSeason( hibernatePersistenceService, year, league, season, PlayerStats.class)); grid.getDataModel().get("gp").sortable(true); grid.getDataModel().get("g").sortable(true); grid.getDataModel().get("a").sortable(true); grid.getDataModel().get("pts").sortable(true); grid.getDataModel().get("ppg").sortable(true); grid.getDataModel().get("ppa").sortable(true); } public GridDataSource getSource() { beanType = rowClass = PlayerStats.class; return new CollectionGridDataSource(collection == null ? Collections.EMPTY_LIST : collection ); }
