Drag and drop of rows primefaces datatable/datagrid?

Question

I trying to drag and drop of rows using primefaces datatable/datagrid.But this is issue in primefaces.What is best way to integrate drag and drop of primefaces datatable/dat

Answer 1

As far as i know from datatables (primefaces) in my applications, they have 2 main states/modes. It may be not the correct word but i stay with it. The 1st is display only, and 2nd editing. (In display i dont see events triggering so DnD wont work.) in editing they have a serious issue with selectivity. u have to press at the edge of the table and not in inline components reach to get the focus on the row. So The drop must be done in that area and only propably for events to trigger. If u see the examples...all drops are made on an outer component(panel etc) and the table is just updated because the ondrop event in ajax has run and changed the data the drop table will contain. That may be magic for incrementing data...but not for rearranging and updating cell or row data. SO the answer for that up to primefaces 3.5.x is i dont think you can achieve it...I dont think you can doit with jquery either because they run client side? i havent used them before so i cant tell for sure. A bit of rework of your forms may be needed.
