  1. Is there a way to decrease the load time of the page in IE just by using Data tables.

  2. If we use server side pagination and sorting, can we also do a quick search on server side and also render only that particular tab instead of the whole page.

    <h:panelGroup id="transactionsPanel"> <h:dataTable> </h:dataTable> <ui:repeat value="#{backing.pages}" var="page" varStatus="current"> <h:commandLink value="#{page}" actionListener="#{backing.page}" rendered="#{page != backing.currentPage}" > <f:ajax render="transactionsPanel"/> </h:commandLink> <ui:repeat>
    </h:panelGroup>

The listener is called but the page is not updated to display the next page clicked.

No.

At least, not without replacing IE by a more sane webbrowser. IE is known to have a poor HTML <table> renderer. This is a client problem, not a server (JSF) problem. You can confirm this by measuring the network traffic speed and browser HTML rendering speed.

If we use server side pagination and sorting, can we also do a quick search on server side and also render only that particular tab instead of the whole page.

Just perform the search (by ajax) in server side as well.

I recommend to look at JSF component libraries instead of grabbing to loose jQuery plugins and cobbling loose scripts together. PrimeFaces for example has a lazily loadable <p:dataTable> which solves all your problems with just clean XHTML and JPA. See also the lazy <p:dataTable> showcase example and Efficient JSF Pagination.

  • Thanks for your quick response. In our project we use only Mojarra JSF. I have updated my question related to ajax call for a data table. The page does not get updated after the ajax call. – user679526 Oct 18 '12 at 16:06
