#55 configurable RowSorter

[fabrizio giustina]

(from displaytag-devel)

Hi,

I want to use a decorator and sort a full list without
having to decorate the entire list. I don't see a way
to do it. This is way too slow for my purposes.

I've implemented by own Sorter but you've declared a
crucial method in the RowSorter final, so simple
extension won't work and I don't see a way to plug it
in without using a heavily modified version of
displaytag.

You should be able to plugin any Sorter that
implements a basic interface, just like the decorator.
TabelModel only uses RowSorter. RowSorter should
implement a RowSorter interface. . . .

If I missed something, please let me know. I might
not be familiar with some new features.

Thanks,

Aaron Smuts

makes sense, I'll check it while investigating the "sort using
property" enhancement

Another benefit in implementing a custom rowsorter is that
you can avoid reflection on sorts. You can create a sorter
for a particular type of object and speed things up.

I'll post an interface and the simple get class by name section
to be put in during the intantiation of the sorter. Also, the
existing sorter should just implment the interface. It's fairly
simple.
