BIG CONCERN for data table columns bound to property.

Question

Here the issue.
I have a data table with many columns of which:
1/ first group bound directly to database table columns.
2/ Second group bound indirectly to database table columns through properties (I need some extra formatting depends on the data of the database table�s columns).
When I display the page the first time it appears correct but when I go back to the page previously displayed the second group columns all get the last value of the bound properties.
What I guess is:
- The first group of columns get data from database.
- The second group of columns just get the value of the properties they were bound , the getXXXXXX method does not get called again because the page was already loaded ?�..So my second group displayed with the wrong data (the last value of property they were bound to).
BIG ISSUE�.when I redisplay the previous page. For example I am on page 3 when I go back to page 1 or page 2 they display the wrong data�
Is it the way it supposed to work ? If so how to force the getXXXXXX method called again to get the right property�s value not the last property�s value?
Thanks.

Answer 1

Here is what I am trying to do (this is a real application not with Pointbase bundled with jCreator).
I want to display a iSeries (AS/400) table in a data table but some columns I need to format suitably:
For example: I have a few date columns in my database table are numeric fields not date fields so if its value is zero I don�t need to display. What I do to display in data table is:
1/ To bind its value to a property let�s call it enteredDate of type java.sql.date
public Date getEnteredDate() {
Object o = getValue("#{dealDetaiSWAPl.dealRowSet1.currentRow['$SEND']}");
return getMyDateFromDdMmYy(o); this method is to convert $SEND from numeric to Date field.
2/ To bind rendered attribute to enteredDateRendered
public boolean isEnteredDateRendered() {
Object o = getValue("#{dealDetaiSWAPl.dealRowSet1.currentRow['$SEND']}");
return dateRendered(o);
public boolean isDateRendered(Object o) { /* This method I reuse elsewhere */
int date = java.lang.Integer.parseInt(o.toString());
if (date == 0)
return false;
else
return true;
When I display page 1 : it looks correct.
Ex: ��date1�..
��date2�..
��date3�..
Display page 2: it looks correct.
Ex: ��date4�..
��date5�..
��date6�..
Go back to page 1: all columns date have the same value of the first row
Ex: ��date1�..
��date1�..
��date1�..
I did not change anything in page navigation method.
By the way I notice that each time I go to table layout screen JSC deletes all components I added in the navigation gridPanel. So if I change something in them I have to restart the whole thing again.
Can you give me your email I will send you screenshots of my application.
Thanks.
