How to add range navigation to an ADF table ?

Question

Greetings,
I have the following code:
<af:table var="messageObject" rowBandingInterval="0" id="t1"
value="#{chatForm.chatRoom.messages}" rendered="#{chatForm.chatRoom.messagesSize > 0}"
summary="message table" rows="5" first="#{chatForm.first}"
contentDelivery="immediate" autoHeightRows="5">
I expect that once that the number of rows in the table is greater than 5 then the range navigation controls be displayed. But this doesn't happen, the table gets simply truncated displaying the last 5 rows and the other ones aren't available. What I'm doing wrong ?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Nicolas

Timo, here is what the documentation says:
"Range Navigation
When the list being displayed by a Table is huge, you can enable the Table to break up the list into ranges and display a single range at a time. Range controls are provided on the Table to let the user scroll to the next range, or to go back to the previous range. If the total size of the list is known, a control to let the user jump directly to a particular part of the list is also provided on the Table. Use the Table attributes "rows" and "first" to control the range navigation feature. When the user changes the range, the T able fires a RangeChangeEvent . "
So, it apears that, as a matter of fact, there are next and prev buttons when the list is larger than that the table. Additionally, there is no any scrollbar slider as soon as the list gets bigger than the table. Last but not least, the JDeveloper's Component Palette doesn't expose any othe table type than ADF Faces one. If by "use Trinidad tables" you mean "use manually Trinidad tables", well, I'm afraid that thhis is not acceptable for a Java IDE aiming to replace NetBeans and Eclipse.
But thank you, anyway, for your reply.
