How To Control ADF Table Pagination on Runtime and Do Case Insensitive Search

I decided to update my sample app from previous post - ADF 11g PS6 - ADF 10g Table Pagination Feature is Back Finally with option to change page size dynamically on runtime. Change between scroll and page mode is implemented, plus case insensitive table column filter option is enabled. Updated sample - TablePaginationApp_v3.zip comes with choice list to select page size:

There is button to force page size change, it calls af:setPropertyListener:

Listener is copying selected page size from choice list and sets Range Size in table iterator. Table Fetch Size by default is set to be equal iterator Range Size - this is how we can change dynamically table page size:

FetchSize is equal table iterator Range Size:

You can change to 25 rows:

Switch between scroll and page modes from panel collection menu:

Rendering scroll mode now - no option to change page size, all rows are displayed:

This is how we can control table layout.

How to enable case insensitive search for af:column - easy. Select af:column you want to apply case insensitive search:

Set "caseInsensitive" for FilterFeatures property of af:column:

Search again for "steven" - this time result is available:
