Is a Sortable required to be enclosed in ?

[Paul Spencer <pa...@apache.org>]

Must a <t:dataTable> be enclosed in a <f:form> for sorting to work?

This is my experience with Tomahawk 1.1.3, but it I does no appear to be 
document!


Below is an example of a data table with 2 sortable columns.
<h:form>
   <t:dataTable value="#{list.entries}" var="row" >
     <t:column sortable="true" sortPropertyName="col1">
       <f:facet name="header">
         <h:outputLabel value="Col 1" />
       </f:facet>
       <h:outputText value="#{row.col1}" />
     </t:column>
     <t:column sortable="true" sortPropertyName="col2">
       <f:facet name="header">
         <h:outputLabel value="Col 2" />
       </f:facet>
       <h:outputText value="#{row.col2}" />
     </t:column>
   </t:dataTable>
</h:form>

BTW: This is a great feature that was added in 1.1.3! Thank you to the 
developers

Yes, when you enable sorting on the dataTable the columns headers become links, so, the enclosing <h:form> is needed. Check out [1] for more information and alternative. The code snippet you provided should work though, isn't it working?

Thanks for the kind words,
