It would be great if seam could provide a complete example for the rich:extendedDataTable component. The best would be something like a jar or a few classes as they provide for trinidad datatable to support effortless sorting and pagination.

I often see people at the seam forums struggling to make the sorting and pagination of richfaces tables work, therefore I didnt even try and went straight for trinidad. But the scrolling capability of the richfaces extended datatable sounds very good. Hope it works as advertised.

When I deploy richfaces-demo-3.2.2.GA-tomcat6.war on Tomcat6, it works properly. But if I undeploy it and deploy richfaces-demo-3.2.2.SR1-tomcat6.war - nothing at the left side panel cannot be clicked, main left-side Panel Bar does not work. I tested it in Opera, FireFox, IE, Chrome - the behaviour was the same... Why?
