Questions & Answers

Hi,

I have created a database layer based on an external database, which works fine so far and I also have created a table showing the results on a web-page. Now I want to have a kind of "query builder", which allows to query over the entire dataset based on keywords. Is there a easy to use/implement module to do so or do I need to write my own JSF/JSP page?

Thanks a lot!

Greetings

Do you want to build queries within the JavaClient to generate  web-pages with that data or do you want to implement a search function  on the website?

Hi,

I want to have a set of form-elements over my table to set search values and apply those via button-press on the table. So if I can setup such query-form-elements via JavaClient it would be perfect!

Thanks!

Again, should the website visitor be able use the query builder or should the CMS editor be able to define a query that is used to generate a static web page, containing a list of matching entries?

Hi,

the user should be able to use the query builder

You can use the FirstSpirit Integration to perform database queries, you'll have to build the UI on your own, though.
