DM,
I'd like to propose another api in DwrBridge.java
similar to getOSISString:
public String getOSISString(String bookInitials,
String reference, int maxKeyCount)
The new api better be called something other than
getOSISString such as
public String getOSISStringAny(String bookInitials,
String reference, int startCount, int maxKeyCount)
for easy use with DWR.
This api need to deal with the bounday condition such
as the following scenario:
if (startCount<0){
startCount=0;
}
if (total<startCount+maxKeyCount){
startCount=total-maxKeyCount;
}
With this api, we could create paging effect with
buttons"<<" and ">>" etc to navigate forward and
backward through all the search results instead of the
first maxKeyCount results.
Thanks
Yiguang
