SMARTGWT DataSource (GWT-RPC-DATASource) LISTGRID

I have a problem with datasource binding in ListGrid with smartGWT. I have GWT-RPC-DataSource and i have set it as my datasource

grid.setDataSource(ds);

On one button click I have some changes in my datasource and I am generating new datasource and rebinding with smartgwt's grid. but it fails. I have tried grid.redraw() function to redraw the grid.

Below is my class for GWTRPCDATASOURCE

public abstract class GwtRpcDataSource extends DataSource {

    /**
     * Creates new data source which communicates with server by GWT RPC. It is
     * normal server side SmartClient data source with data protocol set to
     * <code>DSProtocol.CLIENTCUSTOM</code> ("clientCustom" - natively supported
     * by SmartClient but should be added to smartGWT) and with data format
     * <code>DSDataFormat.CUSTOM</code>.
     */
    public GwtRpcDataSource() {
        setDataProtocol(DSProtocol.CLIENTCUSTOM);
        setDataFormat(DSDataFormat.CUSTOM);
        setClientOnly(false);
    }

I have implemented this abstract class to my own datasource class named NTDatasource.

public class NTDataSource extends GwtRpcDataSource {

    public static int total = 991;
    Record[] records;
    public NTDataSource() {             
    }

    public void setData(List<NTListGridField> lstFields, Record[] records) {
//      setTestData(records);
        for (NTListGridField lstField : lstFields) {
            if (lstField.getType() == ListGridFieldType.DATE) {
                DataSourceDateField dateField = new DataSourceDateField(
                        lstField.getName());
                dateField.setHidden(lstField.getAttributeAsBoolean("visible"));
                if (lstField.getName().equals("id")) {
                    dateField.setHidden(true);
                }

                addField(dateField);

            } else {
                DataSourceTextField textField = new DataSourceTextField(
                        lstField.getName());
                textField.setHidden(lstField.getAttributeAsBoolean("visible"));
                if (lstField.getName().equals("id")) {
                    textField.setHidden(true);
                    textField.setPrimaryKey(true);
                }
                addField(textField);
            }
        }
        total = records.length;
        this.records = records;
    }

    @Override
    protected void executeFetch(String requestId, DSRequest request,
            DSResponse response) {
        // assume we have 1000 items.
        response.setTotalRows(total);
        int end = request.getEndRow();
        if (end > total) {
            end = total;
        }       
        Record returnRecords[] = new Record[end
                - request.getStartRow()];
        for (int i = request.getStartRow(); i < end; i++) {
            ListGridRecord r = new ListGridRecord();    
            r = (ListGridRecord) records[i];
            returnRecords[i - request.getStartRow()] = r;
        }
        GWT.log(" called from " + request.getStartRow() + " to "
                + request.getEndRow() + " result " + returnRecords.length, null);
        response.setData(returnRecords);
        processResponse(requestId, response);
    }

    @Override
    protected void executeAdd(String requestId, DSRequest request,

回答1:

I have solve this question myself.

the answer is i need to use grid.fetchData() method and bind datasource one more time to use it.... !! I hope it might help someone else.

回答2:

Try grid.invalidateCache() .This call will clear the current data in the grid and executes the NTDataSource.executeFetch method.
