Summary Row numbers appear to change 'randomly' [message #1241320] Fri, 07 February 2014 15:06 Go to next message

Summary Row in the nattable produces random numbers whenever any event on nattable triggers recalculation of the summary.

Simmilar issue had been reported on diffrent site

SummaryRowLayer uses non-UI threads to calculate the summary. But GlazedListsDataProvider is not thread-safe (it uses last row index and object fields) which means not only are the calculated numbers are wrong, but also the numbers in the main table (the threads interfere with each other). This is a major problem that took us a while to track down.

Please suggest if this has been resolved or been reported as bug?

I have never heard of such an issue before. It has been a while that I looked into the "different site". I only know about this issue that has been solved a while ago:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=388957

Which version of NatTable do you use? How can the issue be reproduced?

To answer the questions that where raised in the other site too:

Yes of course. That is called background processing. Otherwise the calculation of the summary values would freeze the UI.

To be honest, I'm not sure about the GlazedListsDataProvider. Have you checked what happens if you are not using it? Does it have negative impact on the performance?

SummaryRowLayer creates threads too regularly.


This was fixed in the current development base and will be released with 1.1

SummationSummaryProvider converts numbers to floats. It should use BigDecimal or double at least.


It is just a default implementation and you can implement a custom one. But ok, for the default maybe another type is better. Open a ticket for this.

For the SummationSummaryProvider I created a ticket and fixed it right away: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=427888

As I still don't know what is meant by "produces random numbers whenever any event on nattable triggers recalculation of the summary", which events you are talking in detail of for example, maybe this forum topic helps: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/647161/

Maybe it is about filtering, trees or something like that, that causes the "random" values. In that case the values are not random, which is explained in my answer there.
