This is from a forum thread titled "Filters built in with Data Table component"
The URL to this thread is:http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=237516

The actual message posted by the customer is:

In the JSC help, under the heading of "Data Table Structure" it is mentioned
about filters in the Data Table. I can only find sorting facility but not
filtering. Am I missing something?

Thank you very much.

In the JSC help, under the heading "Table Component Structure" it mentions about
Filter.The following is the description about filter

Filter. Displays a drop-down list of filter options that show criteria to be
used to determine the items to display. The component provides a default
implementation for adding options when the Custom filter becomes active, to
display the filter panel, and so on.

But in the IDE I could not find the Filter option.

Evaluation:
The table has the filtering buit in. But user need to do most of the coding by
hand. The Table Component JavaDoc ha sexplanation on how to do this. But the
Table Layout should provide support for this faeture. We should add this for Mako.
