How to run the example

To run the example you need to download the Eclipse project and run it. We have provided scripts for compilation and execution.

How to use the code

1. Implement the interface TableModelService:

public interface TableModelService extends RemoteService {
	public TableColumn[] getColumns();
	public int getRowsCount(DataFilter[] filters);
	public String[][] getRows(int startRow, int rowsCount,
		DataFilter[] filters, String sortColumn, boolean sortOrder);
}

2. Create AdvancedTable widget, assign table model and add it to the root panel:

AdvancedTable table = new AdvancedTable();
TableModelServiceAsync someTableService = <create table model service async>;
table.setTableModelService(usersTableService);
RootPanel.get().add(table);
