Hi Nebula Team,
We would like to give you our pagination+sort control to Nebula. We are using this project in our RCP/RAP XDocReport application
http://xdocreport-rap.opensagres.cloudbees.net/xdocreport?startup=fr.opensagres.xdocreport.eclipse.ui.application (Go at Resume module and click on Search and you will see the search resume dialog, or please see attached SearchResume.png)
This project gives you the capability to manage pagination+sort in a SWT Table and works too with RAP. This project is very modular and generic and it could be used too for another SWT widgets (I think about NatTable or Tree).
It manages the 2 strategies pagination :
* Replace data in the table when you paginate (see SearchResume.png, PaginationTable.png)
* Add data in the table when you paginate(ex:you display 10 items, you scroll to the last item and 10 items are loaded and added,).
Pagination can be rendered with several means:
* display page number, first, next, previous, last link (please see PaginationTable.png)
* display page in a scale (please see ScalePaginationTable.png
* display page in a combo (please see ComboPaginationTable.png)
* implement your own renderer.
But it's possible to implement your own renderer. I have called that decorator. A decorator is a SWT Composite linked to a page controller which control the pagination and fire events when page changed, etc
So it's possible to synchronize decorator with page controller. The AllDecorator.png screen display a SWT Table on the left and teh whole decorator (scale, links, combo) available. When you modify a decorator (ex;you click on page indes link, it refresh SWT Table but too the another decorator (scale, combo etc....)
By defaut
Spring Data Pagination structure is used :the pagination controller implements Pageable Spring Data interface. Spring Data Pagination is not linked to Spring, or JPA or another thing! It's just a Page structure.
If you know Spring Data with JPA you must just call your service layer with pagination controller which implements Spring Data Pageable and pagination, sort is doen automaticly with JPA, Big Data, Document stores, etc
I'm cleaning our XDocReport code to give you our pagination control. Are you interested with this control??
Regards Angelo
