p:dataTable lazy loading with "external" filter ?

[mbauer77]

Hi,

i am using current 2.2 Snapshot on Tomcat 6 and JSF 2.0.3

I have a search panel including some fields and a "search"-button. Below that I have a p:dataTable with lazy loading.

I implemented the lazyDataModel like seen in the showcase and this works fine, but if i enter some "filters" in the above table and press the search-button, the datatable obviously does not call the list-method of the lazyDataModel, so my filters are never applied because the query is not executed.

I found this way:

Is this the preferred way ?
