Package net.sf.basedb.clients.web.taglib.table Description

This package is a taglib for generating a fancy table. The table supports re-ordering and hiding of columns, displays sorting information and allows pageable navigation among other things.

Example:

<%@ taglib prefix="tbl" uri="/WEB-INF/table.tld" %>

<tbl:table id="news" clazz="itemlist">
   <tbl:toolbar>
      <tbl:button image="new.gif" href="new.jsp" title="New" 
         tooltip="Create a new News entry" />
      <tbl:button image="columns.gif" href="columns.jsp" title="Columns" 
         tooltip="Show, hide and re-order columns" />
      <tbl:button image="delete.gif" href="delete.jsp" title="Delete" 
         tooltip="Delete the selected items" />
   </tbl:toolbar>

   <tbl:navigator page="0" rowsperpage="30" totalrows="600" />
   
   <tbl:data sortby="name" direction="asc" columns="all">
      <tbl:columns>
         <tbl:column id="name" title="Title" sort="name" show="yes" />
         <tbl:column id="startDate" title="Start date" sort="startDate" />
         <tbl:column id="newsDate" title="News date" sort="newsDate" />
         <tbl:column id="endDate" title="End date" sort="endDate" />
         <tbl:column id="description" title="Description" />
      </tbl:columns>

      <tbl:rows>
         <tbl:row>
            <tbl:cell column="name">Base 2 server installed</tbl:cell>
            <tbl:cell column="startDate">2005-04-08</tbl:cell>
            <tbl:cell column="newsDate">2005-04-08</tbl:cell>
            <tbl:cell column="endDate">2005-04-15</tbl:cell>
            <tbl:cell column="description">Welcome to your new BASE server.</tbl:cell>
         </tbl:row>
         <tbl:row>
            <tbl:cell column="name">Base 2 beta released</tbl:cell>
            <tbl:cell column="startDate">2005-05-31</tbl:cell>
            <tbl:cell column="newsDate">2005-05-31</tbl:cell>
            <tbl:cell column="endDate">&nbsp;</tbl:cell>
            <tbl:cell column="description">Get your copy today.</tbl:cell>
         </tbl:row>
         <!-- more rows -->
      </tbl:rows>
   </tbl:data>
</tbl:table>
The <tbl:table> tag is the main tag for the table. The <tbl:toolbar> tag creates a toolbar which may contain one or more <tbl:button> tags.

The <tbl:navigator> tag displays the forward/backward/page number navigation tool. It dynamically generates the page numbers so it will still work even if there are several hundred pages. Note! The settings for this tag doesn't affect how many rows are displayed. It is up to you to make sure that the value passed in the rowsPerPage attribute is the same as the number of <tbl:row> tags.

The <tbl:data> tag begins the listings section and includes settings for the sort order/direction and which columns should be visible respectively hidden.

<tbl:columns> tag is just a placeholder for <tbl:columndef> tags. The <tbl:columndef> tag defines a single column. The id attribute is important since it is used to link the column to <tbl:cell> entries later.

<tbl:rows> tag is just a placeholder for <tbl:row> tags. The <tbl:row> tag is in turn just a placeholder for <tbl:cell> tags. The <tbl:cell> tag is linked to the column ID by the column atribute.
