Datatable - save filter/sort state

[887662]

Hi All,

When I return to a datatable, I would like the filters/sort to be like it was when I paged away. How do you save/restore the datatable state?

In addition, I would like to be able to set a filter value. For instance, I have just added a record to the table via another page. When I return to the table, I would like to set the filter value such that this new record appears.

Can anyone help me?

Using 2.2.1.

Thanks,
Judy

Can we create an issue ticket for this?

Hi,

I just found this post which is exactly why I'm trying to do. Is this still unanswered? Currently I could save the filters using:

Code: Select all

DataTable d = getTabComponent("....");
Map<String,String> storedFilters = d.getFilters()

and storing this in a attribute of a session scope backing bean. Then I can restore them using

Code: Select all

DataTable d = getTabComponent("....");
d.setFilters( storedFilters )

However, while the loaded table is correctly filtered, the filters values doesn't appear in the column headers, which is rather inconsistent.
Does anyone have an idea on how to do this?

Thanks
