a form per row in contrib:Table in Tap4?

[Sam Gendler <sg...@ideasculptor.com>]

I've got a very short 2 field form, but I have many instances of it,
one for each of many dates.  In most instances, a user will only
update a single date or two, so loading the entire  set of values, and
then looking them back up in the primary key convertor is needlessly
wasteful, so I'd rather have a different form on each row, where one
column can just be a submit button.

This is easy enough to do when just iterating with a For component,
but strikes me as enormously more difficult in contrib:Table, mostly
because the TapestryTables.war examples don't address the problem at
all, and there doesn't seem to be any alternative documentation of
contrib:Table.

Since I'd like the sorting and paging functionality of contrib:table,
I am hoping that someone else has done this.  The structure is
basically a date column which just displays a date, then 2 text input
boxes in 2 more columns, then a submit button in a 4th column.  The
primary key is also the date.

It seems like, if I use the single form per table example from
TapestryTables.war, I would have to load the values for the entire
dataset, update the 1 or 2 changed rows, and then save them back to
the database, which isn't terribly efficient.

Guidance, anyone?

Thanks
