Class HTMLTableConverter

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable


    public class HTMLTableConverter
    extends StringConverter
    implements java.io.Serializable
    The HTMLTableConverter class can be used to convert the data from a RowData object to a single HTML table for a selected group or page of row data, an array of strings or HTML tables. Each resulting HTML table then can be used by a servlet to display the rowdata to a browser.

    HTMLTableConverter objects generate the following events:

    The following example creates an HTMLTableConverter object and does the conversion.

      // Create an HTMLTableConverter object.
      HTMLTableConverter converter = new HTMLTableConverter();
      // Setup the table tag with a maximum of 25 rows/table.
      HTMLTable table = new HTMLTable();
      converter.setMaximumTableSize(25);
      converter.setTable(table);
      // Convert the row data.
      // Assume the RowData object was created and initialized in a previous step.
      String[] html = converter.convert(rowdata);

      • addActionCompletedListener

        public void addActionCompletedListener(ActionCompletedListener listener)
        Adds an ActionCompletedListener. The specified ActionCompletedListener's actionCompleted method is called each time the table conversion is complete and all the row data is converted. The ActionCompletedListener object is added to a list of ActionCompletedListeners managed by this class; it can be removed with removeActionCompletedListener.
        Parameters:
        listener - The ActionCompletedListener.
