Earlier i had the datasource defined in the .jsp file itself....

may be because of that i was getting the following problem: when I enter a value inside a cell and when I tab out the data entered vanishes. Under what circumstances it happens?

Thanks in advance

Hi Strive,

Your application DataSources should be placed in shared/ds, not examples/shared/ds. The DataSources in examples/shared/ds are example DataSources.

Be sure the filename for the DataSource is name dataSourceID.ds.xml, in this case "targetDS.ds.xml" and the DataSource itself has the right ID (<DataSource ID="targetDS" ...).

Hi Isomorphic,

I placed my datasource in /shared/ds.
Even then i am getting the same exception.

my datasource(newData.ds.xml) code is:

Code:

<DataSource
    ID="targetDS"
    serverType="sql"    
    recordName="content"
    testFileName="/shared/ds/test_data/targetData.data.xml"
>
    <fields>
        <field name="header" title: " " width:100/>
        <field name="target" type="text" title="Target" width:100/>
        <field name="current"  type="text" title="Current" width:100/>
        <field name="subheader" type="text" title="Sub Header" width:100/>
        <field name="amount" type="boolean" title=" " width:100/>
    </fields>
</DataSource>

my jsp code is:

Code:

isc.ListGrid.create({
    	ID: "Target",
    	top: 450,
    	left:10,
    	width:"50%", height:140, showAllRecords:true,
    	dataSource: targetDS,
    	autoFetchData: true,
	editEvent: "click",
	editByCell: true,
	wrapCells: true,
	fixedRecordHeights: false,
	showRollOver: false,
	leaveScrollbarGap: false,
	canResizeFields: false,
    	bodyOverflow: "hidden",
    	headerHeight: 30,
    	baseStyle: "myBoxedGridCell",
    	selectionType: "none",
    	canReorderFields: false,
    	selectOnEdit:false,
    	fields:[
	    	{name: "header", title: " ", canEdit:false, canSort:false, width:100},
	    	{name: "target", title: "Target", canEdit:false, canSort:false, width:100, type:"imageFile"},
	    	{name: "current", title: "Current", canEdit:false, canSort:false, width:100},
	    	{name: "subheader", title: "Sub Header", canEdit:false, canSort:false, width:100},
	    	{name: "amount", title: " ", canSort:false, width:100, canEdit:true}
]
});

i do not know where i am going wrong...

I change my dataSource to

Code:

<DataSource
    ID="targetDS"
    dataFormat="xml"        
    dataURL="/shared/ds/test_data/targetData.data.xml"
    recordXPath="//content"
>
    <fields>
        <field name="header" title: " " width:100/>
        <field name="target" type="text" title="Target" width:100/>
        <field name="current"  type="text" title="Current" width:100/>
        <field name="subheader" type="text" title="Sub Header" width:100/>
        <field name="amount" type="boolean" title=" " width:100/>
    </fields>
</DataSource>

even then it is not working :(

Hi Strive
What exactly is happening in this second case?
This really shouldn't be failing if the target xml file is present at the dataURL - are you seeing any errors on the server?
If you enable debug level logging for the RPCManager / RPCManagerResponse / DataSource categories in the developer console, and reload the page what do the logs look like?
What does the contents of the xml file look like?

Also, just to be sure we're on the same page, how is your data going to be served in your final applicatoin? Are you going to be using the SmartClient Java Server to retrieve records from a sql database, or are you going to be performing a client side integration (or some other strategy)?

Thanks
