How to sort the result return from a web service.
Hi All:
I am using Weblogic 9.2, Web Services Client, and Struts.
I have a java client in struts that calls a web services.
The "ID" field contains a Java integer.
The "First_Name" is a Java String.
The "Effective_Date" field is a Java date field.
The web service returns an arrayList.
From the arrayList, I displayed the result as the following:
ID FIRST_NAME EFFECTIVE_DATE
-- --------- -------------
3 John 9/10/2007
2 Andrew 1/11/2006
5 Peter 3/4/2006
The "ID" header is a link.
The "First Name" header is a link.
The "EFFECTIVE_Date" is a link.
If I clicked on the link "ID", the first time, it will sort the rows in ascending
order like the following:
ID FIRST_NAME EFFECTIVE_DATE
-- --------- -------------
2 Andrew 1/11/2006
3 John 9/10/2007
5 Peter 3/4/2006
If I clicked on the link "ID", the second time, it will sort the rows in descending
order like the following:
ID FIRST_NAME EFFECTIVE_DATE
-- --------- -------------
5 Peter 3/4/2006
3 John 9/10/2007
2 Andrew 1/11/2006
If I clicked on the "First_Name" field the first time, it will sort the rows in
desceding order.
If I clicked on the "First_Name" field the second time, it will sort the rows in
ascending order.
This applies the same for the "EFFECTIVE_DATE".
Any hint would be greatly appreciate.
Yours,
Frustrated.
