Paging through results

[Detlef Schulze <de...@jaide.de>]

Hi,

I have a page that displays some results of a search. Since there may be too
many results, I want to display only a number of results at a time, allowing
the user to navigate to the next and previous results page via some form of
hyperlink. I want to implement the navigation as a component because I will
need it more than once.

How would I do that?  If I would put the code for that not in a component
but in a page I could use DirectLink and a listener method to trigger a
method of the page class, but how can I do this from within a component? I
am probably missing an obvious solution.

Tapestry project ...

any hints appreciated ...

Do you want the page itself to implement a paging listener?  If so, 
look at how other components that use a listener parameter binding 
work, like @Form, @Submit, etc.  Your paging component could accept a 
listener and invoke it.

If you want the component itself to handle the data too, look at the 
@contrib:Table component to see how it works (though this would be a 
complex endeavor).
