It there a complete example of how to create CustomCollectionDatasource

Is there a good example of how to create CustomCollectionDatasource.
I have looked at the 4.5.3.1.3. Custom Implementation Classes and created my own implementation from this example


class VbPartticipantDs extends CustomCollectionDatasource{

        @Override
        protected Collection<VbhParticipant> getEntities(Map params) {
            LoadContext loadContext = LoadContext.create(VbhParticipant.class)
                    .setQuery(LoadContext.createQuery("select vp from titanium$VbhParticipant vp"))
                    .setView("vbhParticipant-browser");
            return dataManager.loadList(loadContext);
        }
    }

I got this exception

Hi,

in fact, there is. Aleksey created one a few weeks ago: GitHub - aleksey-stukalov/custom-datasource: This example illustrates how to create and use custom collection datasource in the CUBA Platform

Bye,
Mario

I was also looking for a good example of Customer Datasource. The link takes to an example that is nice but I was looking for something similar to the question here…

Your custom datasource should work, just make sure you have specified also the class of entity in your XML descriptor:

<dsContext>
    <collectionDatasource id="myDs"
                          class="com.company.sample.entity.MyEntity"
                          datasourceClass="com.company.sample.web.screens.MyDatasource">
    </collectionDatasource>
</dsContext>
