Hi Aksel,

I would recommend using AJAX push. When the database is updated, you would push updates out to the page using the PushRenderer. You can find implementation details here:

Hi, and thanks for your answer.
Im my case, the users push a button to regenerate data in the grid.
However, im not sure how to set the new list in the richDataGridBean.
When I initialize the bean, i contruct the bean as follows:
richDataGridBean = new RichDataGridBean(datalist, columns, editableRowProperty, null );
When I update datalist in the backingbean with a new set, it doesnt appear in my datagrid. So how can I insert datalist into richDataGridBean without reconstructing it?

Hey Aksel,

Reconstructing the bean looks to be the only option so I would suggest moving the initialize call into a method like initializeRichDataGrids(). You can then call this method whenever bean data has changed. This is actually how we have done it in our component showcase. Can you try this out?

Thanks,

Ty

Hi again Tyler,
we managed to solve the issue ourselves. By inspecting the source code for RichDataGridBean we found a way to update the list. The following method inserts a new list into the grid:
richDataGridBean.getData().setWrappedData(datalist);

I suggest that you implement a setter method for this in the RichDataGridBean so people can update the grid in a straight forward way.

Excellent. You are more welcome than to modify the component as you see fit. I will definitely send a note out to our team regarding whether it should be considered for our next release.

We tend to shy away from suggesting code changes since we prefer to support our officially tested version. Am I okay to close this case?

Thanks,

Tyler

Yes, you can close the case.
Im satisfied that we solved it without changing any of the Icefaces source code.
