here is a good thread about DataProvider.refreshAll() on Vaadin 8.5.1, but it doesn't seem to work this way in Vaadin 11.
I used this starter app to play around. It displays some imaginary product data in a grid.
At first, I added a refresh command to SampleCrudView:
public HorizontalLayout createTopBar() {
...
HorizontalLayout topLayout = new HorizontalLayout();
Button btn = new Button("refresh");
btn.addClickListener(event -> dataProvider.refreshAll());
topLayout.add(btn);
...
return topLayout;
}
The folks from vaadin override getId() in their ProductDataProvider like this to use it as an object identifier:
@Override
public Integer getId(Product product) {
Objects.requireNonNull(product,
"Cannot provide an id for a null product.");
return product.getId();
}
That ProductDataProvider extends ListDataProvider, which is initialized on startup with data from MockDataService, so that we always deal with the same objects. I changed that:
public class MockDataService extends DataService {
...
@Override
public synchronized List<Product> getAllProducts() {
//added ->
MockDataGenerator.resetProductCounter(); //this one sets nextProductId = 1
products = MockDataGenerator.createProducts(categories);
products.stream().forEach(p -> System.out.println(p.getId() + ", " + p.getProductName()));
//<- added
return products;
}
So now you will get new Product instances within the same ID range every time you call getAllProducts():
public class ProductDataProvider extends ListDataProvider<Product> {
...
@Override
public Stream<Product> fetch(Query<Product, SerializablePredicate<Product>> query) {
//added ->
this.getItems().clear();
this.getItems().addAll(DataService.get().getAllProducts());
//<- added
return super.fetch(query);
}
So the point is, this doesn't work - the data in the grid is still the same after "refresh" has been clicked.
Any suggestions?
