RPC Pagination doesn't load data

[Vanquish59]

Hi guys, new to the forum, hello to all.

Having a problem loading data with RPC pagination with GXT.

I'm loading a paginated grid with Account objects in a ListStore.

Problem: Data doesn't load into this grid. I see the grid, I see the toolbar on the button, and I see the number of objects that are in the toolbar. I added 7 objects and on the toolbar it says Display 1-3 of 7, but with no data.

Here is the Account class


public class Account implements Serializable, BeanModelTag
{
private Long id;
private String type;
private double balance;


public Account()
{
}


public Account(Long id, String type, double balance)
{
this.id = id;
this.type = type;
this.balance = balance;
}


public Long getId()
{
return id;
}


public void setId(Long id)
{
this.id = id;
}


public String getType()
{
return type;
}


public void setType(String type)
{
this.type = type;
}


public double getBalance()
{
return balance;
}


public void setBalance(double balance)
{
this.balance = balance;
}
}



Here is the AccountService


@RemoteServiceRelativePath("AccountService")
public interface AccountService extends RemoteService
{
public List<Account> getAccounts();
public PagingLoadResult<Account> getPagedAccounts(final PagingLoadConfig config);
}



Here is AccountServiceAsync


public interface AccountServiceAsync
{
void getAccounts(AsyncCallback<List<Account>> async);


void getPagedAccounts(final PagingLoadConfig config, AsyncCallback<PagingLoadResult<Account>> async);
}



Here is AccountServiceImpl


public class AccountServiceImpl extends RemoteServiceServlet implements AccountService
{


private List<Account> accounts = new ArrayList<Account>();


public List<Account> getAccounts()
{
Account a = new Account(Long.valueOf("1"), "Checking", 38915.35);
Account b = new Account(Long.valueOf("2"), "Savings", 450000.35);
Account c = new Account(Long.valueOf("3"), "Checking", 175.25);
Account d = new Account(Long.valueOf("4"), "Checking", 551525.39);
Account e = new Account(Long.valueOf("5"), "Savings", 1525.45);
Account f = new Account(Long.valueOf("6"), "Savings", 12.25);
Account g = new Account(Long.valueOf("7"), "Checking", 173535.25);


accounts.add(a);
accounts.add(b);
accounts.add(c);
accounts.add(d);
accounts.add(e);
accounts.add(f);
accounts.add(g);


return accounts;
}


public PagingLoadResult<Account> getPagedAccounts(PagingLoadConfig config)
{
List<Account> accs = new ArrayList<Account>();


Account a = new Account(Long.valueOf("1"), "Checking", 38915.35);
Account b = new Account(Long.valueOf("2"), "Savings", 450000.35);
Account c = new Account(Long.valueOf("3"), "Checking", 175.25);
Account d = new Account(Long.valueOf("4"), "Checking", 551525.39);
Account e = new Account(Long.valueOf("5"), "Savings", 1525.45);
Account f = new Account(Long.valueOf("6"), "Savings", 12.25);
Account g = new Account(Long.valueOf("7"), "Checking", 173535.25);


accs.add(a);
accs.add(b);
accs.add(c);
accs.add(d);
accs.add(e);
accs.add(f);
accs.add(g);


return getPagingLoadResult(accs, config);
}


private PagingLoadResult<Account> getPagingLoadResult(List<Account> accs, PagingLoadConfig config)
{
List<Account> pagedAccounts = new ArrayList<Account>();
int start = config.getOffset();
int limit = accs.size();


if(config.getLimit() > 0)
{
limit = Math.min(start + config.getLimit(), limit);
}


for(int i = config.getOffset(); i<limit; i++)
{
pagedAccounts.add(accs.get(i));
}


return new BasePagingLoadResult<Account>(pagedAccounts, config.getOffset(), accs.size());


}




}


Here is the class that sets the grid...



public class EastNavigationPanel extends ContentPanel
{


public EastNavigationPanel()
{
setHeading("East");
setWidth(250);
setLayout(new FitLayout());


//add(new AccountGrid_RPC_WITH_PROXY());




final AccountServiceAsync aService = GWT.create(AccountService.class);


RpcProxy proxy = new RpcProxy()
{
@Override
protected void load(Object o, AsyncCallback asyncCallback)
{
aService.getPagedAccounts((PagingLoadConfig)o, asyncCallback);
}
};


PagingLoader loader = new BasePagingLoader(proxy);
loader.load();


final PagingToolBar bar = new PagingToolBar(3);
bar.bind(loader);








List<ColumnConfig> cols = new ArrayList<ColumnConfig>();


ColumnConfig id = new ColumnConfig("id", "Id", 150);
ColumnConfig type = new ColumnConfig("type", "Type", 150);
ColumnConfig balance = new ColumnConfig("balance", "Balance", 150);

cols.add(id);
cols.add(type);
cols.add(balance);


final ColumnModel cm = new ColumnModel(cols);


Grid<BeanModel> grid = new Grid<BeanModel>(models, cm);
grid.setBorders(true);
grid.setStripeRows(true);
grid.setStyleAttribute("borderTop", "none");
grid.setAutoExpandColumn("balance");





GridSelectionModel gsm = grid.getSelectionModel();
gsm.setSelectionMode(Style.SelectionMode.SINGLE);


setBottomComponent(bar);
add(grid);


}


}


Here is the exception I get. Looks trivial, but I'm confused where it's being thrown...

Thanks guys.

[Colin Alworth]

Take a closer look at the bean model example - you are attempting to directly load Account objects into the ListStore, which is expecting BeanModel instances. That is why you are getting a class cast exception, as Account doesn't extend BeanModel.

In the http://www.sencha.com/examples/#beanmodelgrid example, notice the BeanModelReader, used to convert the server POJO into BeanModel instances.

It will be easier to notice these errors if you properly use Java generics in your code - AsyncCallback should have a generic argument, among others. If the compiler doesn't like your code because of those generics, generally that means that a class cast exception, like you are getting, will occur due to how you have it set up.

Thank you Colin. I figured it out. I didn't want to use a class that extends BaseModel because it's annoying the way the getters and setters work. I used the BeanModelTag interface. The only thing that was missing in my code just like you said, was the BeanModelReader.

Thank you.
