Class PagingNavigation

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Iterable<Component>, IEventSink, IEventSource, IFeedbackContributor, IConverterLocator, IMetadataContext<Serializable,​Component>, IHeaderContributor, IRequestableComponent, IHierarchical<Component>, IClusterable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    AjaxPagingNavigation
    public class PagingNavigation
extends Loop
    A navigation for a PageableListView that holds links to other pages of the PageableListView.

    For each row (one page of the list of pages) a PagingNavigationLinkwill be added that contains a Label with the page number of that link (1..n). 

    
        <td wicket:id="navigation">
                <a wicket:id="pageLink" href="SearchCDPage.html">
                        <span wicket:id="pageNumber">1</span>
                </a>
        </td>
    thus renders like: 
            1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |

    Override method populateItem to customize the rendering of the navigation. For instance: 

     protected void populateItem(LoopItem loopItem)
 {
        final int page = loopItem.getIteration();
        final PagingNavigationLink link = new PagingNavigationLink("pageLink", pageableListView, page);
        if (page > 0)
        {
                loopItem.add(new Label("separator", "|"));
        }
        else
        {
                loopItem.add(new Label("separator", ""));
        }
        link.add(new Label("pageNumber", String.valueOf(page + 1)));
        link.add(new Label("pageLabel", "page"));
        loopItem.add(link);
 }
    With: 
     <span wicket:id="navigation">
        <span wicket:id="separator"></span>
        <a wicket:id="pageLink" href="#">
                <span wicket:id="pageLabel"></span><span wicket:id="pageNumber"></span>
        </a>
 </span>
    renders like: 
     page1 | page2 | page3 | page4 | page5 | page6 | page7 | page8 | page9

    Assuming a PageableListView with 1000 entries and not more than 10 lines shall be printed per page, the navigation bar would have 100 entries. Because this is not feasible PagingNavigation's navigation bar is pageable as well.

    The page links displayed are automatically adjusted based on the number of page links to be displayed and a margin. The margin makes sure that the page link pointing to the current page is not at the left or right end of the page links currently printed and thus providing a better user experience.

    Use setMargin() and setViewSize() to adjust the navigation's bar view size and margin.

    • Method Detail

      • getMargin

        public long getMargin()
        Gets the margin, default value is half the view size, unless explicitly set.
        Returns:
        the margin

      • getViewSize

        public int getViewSize()
        Gets the view size (is fixed by user).
        Returns:
        view size

        size -

        margin - the margin

      • setSeparator

        separator - the seperator

      • onConfigure

        protected void onConfigure()
        Description copied from class: Component
        Called on all components before any component is rendered. This method should be used to configure such things as visibility and enabled flags.

        Overrides must call super.onConfigure(), usually before any other code

        NOTE: Component hierarchy should not be modified inside this method, instead it should be done in Component.onBeforeRender()

        NOTE: Why this method is preferrable to directly overriding Component.isVisible() and Component.isEnabled()? Because those methods are called multiple times even for processing of a single request. If they contain expensive logic they can slow down the response time of the entire page. Further, overriding those methods directly on form components may lead to inconsistent or unexpected state depending on when those methods are called in the form processing workflow. It is a better practice to push changes to state rather than pull.

        NOTE: If component's visibility or another property depends on another component you may call other.configure() followed by other.isVisible() as mentioned in Component.configure() javadoc.

        NOTE: Why should Component.onBeforeRender() not be used for this? Because if a component's visibility is controlled inside Component.onBeforeRender(), once invisible the component will never become visible again.

        Overrides:
        onConfigure in class Component

      • getStartIndex

        protected final long getStartIndex()
        Allow subclasses replacing populateItem to calculate the current page number
        Returns:
        start index

      • newPagingNavigationLink

        protected AbstractLink newPagingNavigationLink​(String id,
                                               IPageable pageable,
                                               long pageIndex)
        Factory method for creating page number links.
        Parameters:
        id - the component id.
        pageable - the pageable for the link
        pageIndex - the page index the link points to
