[jira] Created: (WICKET-3327) Grid Veiw to support more generic Grids

Grid Veiw to support more generic Grids
---------------------------------------

                 Key: WICKET-3327
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-3327
             Project: Wicket
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: wicket
            Reporter: Arjun Dhar
            Priority: Minor


Motivation: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/GridView-for-A-Symmetric-tables-issues-td2953859.html

What adds to the difficulty:
=====
The {@link GridView} class assumes Symmetry of Rows x Cols. When one has to deviate from the Symmetric nature of the Grid then due to certain
non standardized API methods being final or private the setRows() & setCols() have to been overridden.
Since the getters & setters for rows & columns involve complex logic; anything that overrides it requires visibility of the variables this too becomes unfit for consumption.

Suggestion for Improvement (And / Or any of the following): 
=====
1. Either restructure the visibility of some attributes so people can extend this class for Assymetric views etc
2. Introduce an Optional Abstract Data Structure "GridLayout or say AssymetricGridView" that defines what the layout of the grid should be and 

Minor Nomenclature issues (Something I noticed and thought I'd mention)
=====
1. internalSetRowsPerPage -- The name of the method seems inappropriate. (specially when grids are asymmetric then what is a real Row?) .
Even the class where it comes from "AbstractPageableView" says:
	 * Sets the maximum number of items to show per page. The current page will
	 * also be set to zero
... Item is perhaps more appropriate to use even in the method name. (if it does not upset too much) --- I think this suggestion will never pass :)

I have a sample implementation attached to this thread. This implementation solves the issue I mentioned in the User Forum.
Frankly, this is a 90+% copy of AssymetricGridView, but because it was too cumbersome to override the behavior I hacked my way around. Just a sample reference nevertheless.

thanks
