Pagination in data service not working

[zax555]

Objective is to show a predefined number of records from the
database and

Populate a datagride.Say there are 50 records in the
database and the

requirement is to show 10 at time. As per documentaion
JavaAdaper needs to be used with page size defined. Tried but it
always return all the rows.



Code:



Mxml file



<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns="*" pageTitle="Contact Manager"
creationComplete="initApp()">

<mx:Script>

<![CDATA[

import samples.contact.*;

[Bindable]

public var contacts:ArrayCollection;

[Bindable]

public var contact:Contact;

private var ds:DataService;

private function initApp():void

{

var i:int;

contacts = new ArrayCollection();

ds = new DataService("contact");

ds.pageSize=4;

ds.autoCommit = false;

ds.fill(contacts);

AsyncToken(ds.fill(contacts));

token.kind = "fill";

}

]]>

</mx:Script>



<mx:DataGrid id="dg" dataProvider="{contacts}"
width="100%" height="100%"
change="contact=Contact(dg.selectedItem)" editable="true" >

<mx:columns>

<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="contactId"
headerText="Id"/>

<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="firstName"

This all looks ok to me. If the data grid is displaying all
50 rows, you will see all 50 and might not notice that it was
actually fetching them 10 rows at a time. To see more about what
the server is sending to the client, enable the debug logging in
the server. Go to your services-config.xml (in WEB-INF/flex) and
search for "level=". Change that to Debug and make sure your
<pattern> tags just below that include both "DataService.*"
and "Message.*". When you run the application, you should see
something like:



[Flex] [DEBUG] Before invoke service: data-service

and then:

Notice that there is first a "fill" message which returns 4
rows, then a page message which returns the next 4 rows. Try making
your initial window smaller and hit "refresh" and then you should
only see those page messages go across when you scroll.
