Display Table

[Premila Devi Dayalan]

Please guide me.

<display:table name="movementList" id="movement" requestURI="assetMovementDetails.es" 
	class="list" pagesize="${itemsPerPage}" partialList="true" size="${movementSearchBean.listSize}" 
	sort="external" export="true" >

	<!-- display:column titleKey="asset.serialNumber" property="asset.serialNumber"/ -->
	<display:column sortable="true" titleKey="movement.from" sortName="from" property="from.name"/>
	<display:column sortable="true" titleKey="movement.to" sortName="to" property="to.name"/>
	<display:column titleKey="movement.quantity" sortName="quantity" property="quantity"/>
	<display:column sortable="true" titleKey="user.realname" sortName="user.realname" property="movementTransaction.document.user.realname" />
	<display:column sortable="true" titleKey="movement.startDate" sortName="startDate">
		<fmt:formatDate value="${movement.startDate}" pattern="${localConfig.dateTimePattern}" />
	</display:column>
	<display:column sortable="true" titleKey="movement.endDate" sortName="endDate">
		<fmt:formatDate value="${movement.endDate}" pattern="${localConfig.dateTimePattern}" />
	</display:column>
	<display:column sortable="true" titleKey="movement.status" sortName="status" property="status"/>
	<display:column sortable="true" titleKey="movement.assetStatus" sortName="assetStatus" >
		<c:if test="${!empty movement.assetStatus}">
		<fmt:message key="asset.status.${movement.assetStatus.name}"/>
		</c:if>
	</display:column>
	<display:column sortable="true" titleKey="movement.action" sortName="action" >
		<fmt:message key="movement.action.${movement.action}"/>
	</display:column>
	<display:caption>	<fmt:message key="heading.assetMovementDetails"/></display:caption>
</display:table>

[list]These is Example of assetMovementDetails.jsp.
What is the purpose of declaration of "

<display:column sortable="true" titleKey="movement.action" sortName="action" >
		<fmt:message key="movement.action.${movement.action}"/>
	</display:column>"

, especially the

movement.action.${movement.action}

As we may declare it as simple as

"<display:column titleKey="movement.quantity" sortName="quantity" property="quantity"/>"

[/list]
Please guide me.

Thanks.

Surely "movement.quantity" is a different key than "movement.action", no? Why do you think they'd be the same? Also, the fmt:message tag displays something; why do you think leaving it out would result in the same output?

Dear Sir,

Yes I am agree with you that "movement.quantity" is a different key than "movement.action". They are no same at all sir. Yes, fmt:message tag displays something.

    <display:column sortable="true" titleKey="user.realname" sortName="user.realname" property="movementTransaction.document.user.realname" />  
  <display:column sortable="true" titleKey="movement.startDate" sortName="startDate">  
        <fmt:formatDate value="${movement.startDate}" pattern="${localConfig.dateTimePattern}" />  
       </display:column>  

My point here is both will display a table column sir,am I right?

At first they display are column in a ways that

<display:column sortable="true" titleKey="user.realname" sortName="user.realname" property="movementTransaction.document.user.realname" />

But secondly,they was display a column as well,but different ways,such as :

   <display:column sortable="true" titleKey="movement.startDate" sortName="startDate">  
           <fmt:formatDate value="${movement.startDate}" pattern="${localConfig.dateTimePattern}" />  
           </display:column>  

[/code]

and why they embedded the

<fmt:formatDate value="${movement.startDate}" pattern="${localConfig.dateTimePattern}" />  

at here,is it to capture a data from the input.Please guide.I just wanted to know the different between these display table method.

Thanks Sir.

The easiest way would be to just try them out and see what the differences are. The DisplayTag web site also has an extensive tutorial that shows the various ways of using it in action.
