Hello!

what i am doing is generating a full table config from config files.

so this is what i got included:
(columns - dynamic fom cfg files - also visibility of em, Groups etc...)
Filtering
Sorting

my main problem is due filtering/sorting i need to create FilterList, SortedList,
which will be passed to ColumnHeaderLayer and BodyLayer.

so whenever i get a new Input-list i need to dispose the table, and create another one (?)
thats what i am doing right now, but it would be WAY faster if i could simply exchange the data... and tell the table to check for changes (does not even need to happen automatically, as i know when this is going to happen Wink )

my table is fused with my dynamic config library, which is fused with my framework
so getting my table out of this context to show my problem is sort of tricky!

NOTE: i already tried to simply change the data in my AbstractDataSource (this class provides, columnNames, olumnIndexes for properties, propertyNames (as list), informations how to gain data from objects AND the list, which is displayed in the table )
but i have no clue which function from nattable api to call so it reads the data again and redraws...

any help appreciated.
thanks in advance

Hi,

well the SortedList and the FilterList are just wrapper around the main list. To exchange data I usually call clear() on the top most list (e.g. the FilterList instance) and addAll() with the new data. If you considered using GlazedListsEventLayer and GlazedListsDataProvider there is nothing more you have to do AFAIK. The update should be triggered automatically.

So there is no need for dispose and new creation of the table. You just need to change the content of the list that is used to propagate the table.

Hope that helps,
Dirk

(my last post seems to be gone to a black hole)
once again dirk, confirmed.

i thought i have to recreate Event- Transformed- and ObservableElementList every time i set new data.
as you told me i changed my AbstractDataSource to this:

	@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
	public void setList(List<E> list, Class<?> clazz) {
		if (observableList == null ) {
			EventList<E> eventList = new BasicEventList<E>();
			TransformedList<E, E> objectList = GlazedLists
					.threadSafeList(eventList);
			observableList = new ObservableElementList<E>(objectList,
					(Connector<? super E>) GlazedLists.beanConnector(clazz));
		} else {
			observableList.clear();
			if (list != null) {
				observableList.addAll(list);
			}
		}
	}

and now its working like charm! no other changes were needed (adding 7 lines (could be done without brackets in 5 Wink )

thanks a lot for your hint/tips/information!
saves me quite some waiting time!
