+ Components t:dataModel and t:dataScroller work together nicely to allow a user to "page" through a set of a few dozen to a few hundred records.
+ However the implementation does assume that the entire set of available records are in memory and wrapped up inside a !ListDataModel or !ArrayDataModel.
+
+ When the available dataset is quite large, and the application can have many users, this can lead to memory usage problems.
+
+ This page contains discussions on how to handle this scenario.
+
+ === On-demand loading ===
+
+ A custom DataModel can be used to allow data to be loaded "on demand".
+
+ First, a class needs to be defined which your "business methods" (eg EJBs) can use to pass "pages" of data back to the UI.
+ This class needs to be defined in your project, as the "business" level shouldn't be extending !MyFaces classes:
+
+ {{{
+ package example;
+
+ import java.util.List;
+
+ /**
+ * A simple class that represents a "page" of data out of a longer set, ie
+ * a list of objects together with info to indicate the starting row and
+ * the full size of the dataset. EJBs can return instances of this type
+ * when returning subsets of available data.
+ */
+ public class DataPage<T> {
+
+ private int datasetSize;
+ private int startRow;
+ private List<T> data;
+
+ /**
+ * Create an object representing a sublist of a dataset.
+ *
+ * @param datasetSize is the total number of matching rows
+ * available.
+ *
+ * @param startRow is the index within the complete dataset
+ * of the first element in the data list.
+ *
+ * @param data is a list of consecutive objects from the
+ * dataset.
+ */
+ public DataPage(int datasetSize, int startRow, List<T> data) {
+ this.datasetSize = datasetSize;
+ this.startRow = startRow;
+ this.data = data;
+ }
+
+ /**
+ * Return the number of items in the full dataset.
+ */
+ public int getDatasetSize() {
+ return datasetSize;
+ }
+
+ /**
+ * Return the offset within the full dataset of the first
+ * element in the list held by this object.
+ */
+ public int getStartRow() {
+ return startRow;
+ }
+
+ /**
+ * Return the list of objects held by this object, which
+ * is a continuous subset of the full dataset.
+ */
+ public List<T> getData() {
+ return data;
+ }
+ }
+ }}}
+
+ Now a custom !DataModel can use this !DataPage stuff. Again, it is recommended that you copy this code into your project and change the package name appropriately. This class can't go in the !MyFaces libraries as it depends on !DataPage, and as noted above, !DataPage is accessed by your business level code so it really can't be in the !MyFaces libs:
+
+ {{{
+ package example;
+
+ import javax.faces.model.DataModel;
+
+ import example.DataPage;
+
+ /**
+ * A special type of JSF DataModel to allow a datatable and datascroller
+ * to page through a large set of data without having to hold the entire
+ * set of data in memory at once.
+ * <p>
+ * Any time a managed bean wants to avoid holding an entire dataset,
+ * the managed bean should declare an inner class which extends this
+ * class and implements the fetchData method. This method is called
+ * as needed when the table requires data that isn't available in the
+ * current data page held by this object.
+ * <p>
+ * This does require the managed bean (and in general the business
+ * method that the managed bean uses) to provide the data wrapped in
+ * a DataPage object that provides info on the full size of the dataset.
+ */
+ public abstract class PagedListDataModel<T> extends DataModel {
+
+ private int pageSize;
+ private int rowIndex;
+ private DataPage<T> page;
+
+ private int lastStartRow = -1;
+ private DataPage<T> lastPage;

+ * number of rows on each page.

+ }
+

+
+ /**
+ * Method which must be implemented in cooperation with the managed bean
+ * class to fetch data on demand.
+ */
+ public abstract DataPage<T> fetchPage(int startRow, int pageSize);
+ }
+
+
+ Finally, the managed bean needs to provide a simple inner class that provides the fetchPage implementation:
+
+ {{{
+ public SomeManagedBean {
+ ....
+
+
+ private DataPage<SomeRowObject> getDataPage(int startRow, int pageSize) {
+ // access database here, or call EJB to do so
+ }
+
+ public DataModel getDataModel() {
+ if (dataModel == null) {
+ dataModel = new LocalDataModel(getRowsPerPage());
+ }
+
+ return dataModel;
+ }
+
+ private class LocalDataModel extends PagedListDataModel {
+ public LocalDataModel(int pageSize) {
+ super(pageSize);
+ }
+
+ public DataPage<SomeRowObject> fetchPage(int startRow, int pageSize) {
+ // call enclosing managed bean method to fetch the data
+ return getDataPage(startRow, pageSize);
+ }
+ }
+
+ }}}
+
+ The jsp pages are then trivial; by default the t:dataScroller will update the t:dataTable's "first" property, and that's all that is needed because when the table
+ asks the custom !DataModel for the necessary rows callbacks to fetchPage will be made which will fetch exactly the data required. No event listeners, action methods,
+ or anything else is required as glue.
