Nice comment....

4.0.3 brought full backward compatibility for sortBy-filterBy.

Please see;

and for the record, I was bening sarcastic (although I to did not like breaking backwardscompatibility in such a major way... maybe a 4.0a is an option? or 'just' provide 4.0.3 for free to everyone?

Indeed, we are migrating to 4.0, and after all, we are expiring the same restrictions in the filterBy & sortBy functionalities.

Code: Select all

sortBy="#{pf:customFormatDate(app.lastCommitteeDate)}"

I agree with Ronald to release a 4.0.3 for everyone..
It wasn't really mentioned before that custom el (functions) could not be used anymore

If not, any idea when the next release for the community will be there ?

Hi Luca,

There is a 4.1 (community) planned in about 5 months. (see roadmap paragraph in this blog http://blog.primefaces.org/?p=2918)

But timing can change of course.

Ok, thanks Rudy!

Or that time atleast sortby&filterby changes might be added in the 4.0 community version along with elite releases.Because these features are basic features to all the users.

I would like to point out that the issue is not entirely solved.
At least, it does not work for dynamic columns with sortMode="multiple"

Looking at the code, it seems that the problem is indeed sortMode="multiple":

https://code.google.com/p/primefaces/so ... re.java#64

A short test confirmed this: dynamic columns with sortMode = "single" works.

In my case, an exception is thown while calling

Code: Select all

table.resolveDynamicField(columnSortByVE)

Which, I assume, is still using code which is not backward compatible to try and find a property on the bean, instead of storing and evaluating it as an EL later.

5.0 has field attribute, when defined field is not attempted to be resolved by parsing the expression but from the field attribute. Fixed many limitations.
