I just finished upgrading the
Using Databound Components to Access Databases
for the final release of the product. Because this upgraded tutorial won't be published until after the final Creator 2 release comes out, I thought I would share the following piece of information that I added to the tutorial. I have seen several posts on the EA forum where people are asking how to reposition the cursor to a different table row. The answer is to call tableRowGroup1.setFirst(zero-based-index-value);.
If you use the table paging feature on a master detail page that is like the one in the tutorial (a drop-down list for the master data and a table for the detail data), you will see that when the user selects a different choice from the dropdown list, the table displays new data, but stays on the current page. For example, if the user switches to page 2 and then chooses a new item from the dropdown list, the table shows the second page of data for the new selection. To fix the problem, add the following code after the tripDataProvider.refresh() statement in the master component's value change event handler: tableRowGroup1.setFirst(0);. This ensures that the first page is always displayed when a new name is selected from the drop-down list.
A new tutorial, GoogleSearch Web Service Portlet, will be added to the EA tutorials page, hopefully today or tomorrow.
The upgrading of the Referencing Class Libraries tutorial from Creator 1 to Creator 2 was low on our priority list. However, several people sent a request for this tutorial to the CreatorDocsFeedback@Sun.Com alias. So, we have upgraded this tutorial and it is going through the engineering review process. Your input matters to us, so please continue to submit tutorial suggestions.
