Will we ever see a scrolling CellTable?
The new CellTable and PagingListView/ListView programming model is
really nice, great work guys!! but the glaring omission I can see in
the M1 drop is a table that has a scrolling data area and a fixed
header/footer, as opposed to a paging table.
Now I understand that it's only the first milestone drop and there may
be more to come, but the fact that GWT does still not deliver what is
an absolutely fundamental component required for GWT development in
desktop style business oriented apps has made me start to wonder.
Does the GWT team believe such a component conflicts with the GWT
mission statement:
"GWT's mission is to radically improve the web experience for users by
enabling developers to use existing Java tools to build no-compromise
AJAX for any modern browser."
or more explicitly the clarification of what is meant by "the web
experience":
"The experience we want to optimize is the web experience. The web has
different DNA than desktop applications, and GWT was designed to be of
the web tradition rather than providing a way of slavishly cloning
desktop idioms in a browser. Sure, there is some overlap. But when
there's tension, we prioritize the simple, core web concepts like
hyperlinks, history, URLs, and bookmarks"
Would love to hear the teams thoughts on this,.. oh, and once again,
love your work guys. GWT is a wonderful thing (even without a
scrolling table :) )
Cheers
Craig
