Re: JSF/EGL datatable positioning question

Not to beat a dead horse, but your questions really show that you haven't

looked at the language.

Honestly Joe, why did you make that comment? Didn't we cover this in the
last thread at Thanksgiving? I KNOW I have little EGL experience. I also
know I have A LOT of JSF experience and that is what I was offering up to
Tim because EGL is very much based on JSF.

Would you like this community to remind you of your short comings each time
you post on a subject you don't have full knowledge of?

I could show you how I do it with Apache MyFaces and Hibernate, but I
don't
know if that would really help you. What is EGL using for data access
under
the covers? Does it have some sort of ORM solution (I believe IBM's first
JSF incantations used Web Data Objects or WDO).

Not to beat a dead horse, but your questions really show that you haven't
looked at the language.

EGL allows direct SQL access to the database and doesn't require the extra
layer of ORM. You can easily write your own paging logic and encapsulate it
in a library routine, the same way you would with RPG or COBOL.
