Remote object call for each item in datagrid

Hi,



I want to display large number of items in DataGrid (>
30,000). Each items could take some time to retrieve all
information for displaying. So I want to do lazy call to server
only when particular row is in view. I'm currently using
RemoteObject to communicate with server side with single result
event handler to get information of each row. Here is the code
snippet :




quote:



pubic class MyService {



private var ro:RemoteObject;



public function init() {

ro = new RemoteObject("myDestination")


ro.addEventListener('getItem').addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT,
resultHandler);

}



private function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent) {

// get object from event.result

}



}







In my understanding, the call to remote object is
asynchronous so it can't wait until result is returned to proceed
the next row. That means I need to have this instance of my class
for EACH row in DataGrid ? Is there any better way to this. I worry
about memory footprint of my application if I do so.

FDS 2.5.1 now supports custom paging via HibernateAssembler.
Have a look in the new FDS user doc section "Using on-demand
paging". However, the doc is not clear that if "cache-item" could
still be used thgether with "custom paging". If you are already
using HibernateAssember and DataGrid, looks like you should get
this FDS-DB server paging behavior by just enabling this feature. I
will be using this feature in a week or so. Hope this helps.

Thank you, Chang. The thing is I'm not using Hibernate or any
JDBC. My data is actually come from mailbox. I'm developing an
application that read bunch of mails from mailboxes and display in
data grid.
