For sorting columns on user side with records
hi ,
suppose i am using struts based app while showing data in various columns and i wish to give user the choice to sort the column based on his choice does there is a support in struts html tags or other validator javascript generator so that this feature can be performed like we previously done in visual basic grids.
Thanks

There are quite a few third-party widgets for doing this. Just do a
Google search for "html table widget" or "javascript table widget" and
look for one that works. In particular, the Jaffa project
(jaffa.sourceforge.net) has a pretty slick looking table widget that is
designed to work well with Struts. I think this is more server-side
sorting, though.
There's a fast JavaScript table sorter at
http://www.litotes.demon.co.uk/example_scripts/index.html. This is a
big hairy JavaScript file, but it doesn't require much extra markup in
your HTML file.

I really liked the link Jeff (I think that's who it was) provided
earlier. In fact, I'm seriously considering replacing my own code as I
posted here with that solution in some of my systems at work. But, my
code will do the trick, so if nothing else at least there's that to fall
back on.
Incidentally, about two years ago I began work on something called VisML
which included this type of functionality on a much grander scale.
Basically, it was a set of rich client-side GUI widgets for web apps. I
had some pretty cool controls built (I modeled many of them after the
common Windows controls, with some other nice additions). I had a whole
Javascript-based event model built around it, and a whole API that you
could utilize. It was pretty elegant if I do say so myself, and was
even cross-browser at the time. I even had the beginnings of an IDE for
laying out the pages that generated the required markup to drop on your
pages. I've been considering resurrecting that project but implementing
it as a set of taglibs, which I think would be better than requiring a
page author to write script code as in the previous version, even if it
was very simple and minimal code, it should be possible to not require
any (although some might still be used for more advanced functions).
The IDE idea I would drop completely, but the underlying widgets, event
model and API, conceptually at least, would remain.
I think there are now any number of projects like this out there, which
is what has given me pause in jumping right into it, along with a
general lack of time of course :)

Hi Nitin,
Struts is server-side - predominately a controller, although it does include
some things to facilitate building the view. What you're asking for is
something that would sit client-side and provide DHTML manipulation of a
HTML table - right?
That I'm aware of, there is no such animal. Struts is quite popular though,
so you might try googling for this wonder-control. Try something like:
JSP +Table +Sort
I can think of ways this could be acheived using XML/XSLT on the client end,
but you'd be at the mercy of users having MSXML installed. All other
possible solutions that I can think of involve writing some really contrived
JavaScript ...
Good luck with your search.
Eddie

Have a look at the displaytag taglib - displaytag.sourceforge.net. It
provides sorting + a whole lot more. And it's struts friendly to boot.
