ViewScope and Sorting?

[craig]

Is is possible to use DataTable sorting when the bean is ViewScoped?

When I click sort, it calls into the backing bean that returns the same list, but the list is never sorted.

The getter for the property is never called?

I've tried with 2.2 and 2.2.1

Any ideas?

Thanks Craig

Code: Select all

		
			<h:form>
				<p:dataTable value="#{accountListBean.accounts}" var="account" > 
					<p:column sortBy="#{account.name}">
						<f:facet name="header">  
							<h:outputText value="Name" />  
						</f:facet>  
						<h:outputText value="#{account.name}" />
					</p:column>
					<p:column sortBy="#{account.url}">
						<f:facet name="header">  
							<h:outputText value="URL" />  
						</f:facet>
						<h:outputText value="#{account.url}" />
					</p:column>	
					<p:column  sortBy="#{account.createdAt}">
						<f:facet name="header">  
							<h:outputText value="Created At" />  
						</f:facet>
						<h:outputText value="#{account.createdAt}" />
					</p:column>	
				</p:dataTable>
			</h:form>

Code: Select all

@ViewScoped
@Named("accountListBean")
public class AccountListBean implements Serializable
{
   private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

   @Inject
   private AccountManager accountManager;

   private List<Account> accounts;

   @PostConstruct
   public void loadAccounts()
   {
      accounts = accountManager.list();
   }

   public List<Account> getAccounts()
   {
      return accounts;
   }
}

I can verifiy that sorting works when using an @ManagedBean with the @ViewScoped tag. I do not believe @Named beans have @ViewScoped so I assume you are using an extension. I do not see any sortable columns in your sample code either.

Sorry my bad, I coppied the code after I have backed out the sort tags.

I will try with @ManagedBean annotation

Thanks for your help,

Craig
