loading data via 'url' not working

[NatalieErdmann]

Hi,

our table remains empty when we try to load data via 'url' attribute. We tried absolute and relative urls.

Version:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.dandelion</groupId>
    <artifactId>datatables-jsp</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>

Table:

<datatables:table id="krankenkassenList" url="krankenkassen/list">
   
    <datatables:column property="name" title="Name"/>

</datatables:table>

Everything is fine when we are using 'data' attribute. Also it's working when we use 'url' attribute and add some question marks to the end of the url (in this case: "krankenkassen/list????"). I see that the method behind the rest interface is called twice then. Without question marks it's called once, but the table remains empty.

I think it's a bug, or does anyone have a hint how we could fix this?

Hello again,

I found out that there are some js inclusion at the end of the page:

<script src="/myApp/dandelion/jquery/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="/myApp/dandelion/datatables/js/jquery.dataTables.js"></script>
<script src="/myApp/dandelion-assets/bbf6b3372d2dcfbb8686fe17b33cdf91/js/dandelion-datatables-311a8e67d0b412ebcd1b6db403737fd0.js"></script>

Those are missing when I remove the question marks from the url.

After I added

    <%@ taglib prefix="dandelion" uri="http://github.com/dandelion" %>
    <dandelion:bundle includes="jquery,jquery-ui,datatables,bootstrap-datepicker" />

in the jsp and overwrote the included jquery (old version 1.11.3 wtf), there are a few js inclusions in the renderer html (without question marks in url):

<script src="/myApp/scripts/jquery/js/jquery-3.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="/myApp/scripts/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>
<script src="/myApp/dandelion/bootstrap2/js/bootstrap.js"></script>
<script src="/myApp/dandelion/bootstrap-datepicker/js/bootstrap-datepicker.js"></script>

As you can see the (generated?) /myApp/dandelion-assets/bbf6b3372d2dcfbb8686fe17b33cdf91/js/dandelion-datatables-311a8e67d0b412ebcd1b6db403737fd0.js is missing.
How do I include this asset? There is a random string in the file name, so I don't know how to include it...

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

problem was about nested jsps and caching. Disabling caching in dandelion_prod.properties solved the problem.

Hi there,

disabling caching was actually no good solution. Client says that website is loading too slow now, so we have to enable caching again...
Any other solutions? Don't want to switch framework.

would you happen to know a good alternative? since this project seems to be dead we would like to migrate to something that is under active development but haven't found something yet

[NatalieErdmann]

We are using https://datatables.net/ and a custom implementation now...

aah shoot, hoped i could prevent having to do that, thanks anyway
