Grails: problem with paging and ordering in a view template

How do I structure my pages and partial templates so that Ajax will play nice with <paginate> and column sorting?

I currently have a search.gsp page with a remoteField that calls a controller to update a template. This all works fine. However, the column sorting and paging actions cause my search.gsp to be completely replaced by the template view.

From my search.gsp:

<div id="searchBox">
  Enter a key or phrase: <g:remoteField  name="searchBox"  
                         update="resourceSearchResultPanel" paramName="q"                               开发者_开发知识库             
                         url="[controller:'resourceEntry',action:'searchForResources']" 
                         />
</div>
<div id="resourceSearchResultPanel" />

My controller handles the search request like so:

def searchForResources = {
        params.max = Math.min(params.max ? params.max.toInteger() : 10, 100)
        params.offset = params.offset ? params.offset.toInteger() : 0
        log.debug "Handling search post action"
        def q = params.q ?: null
        log.debug "Search phrase is $q"
        def searchResults
        if (q) {
            searchResults = [
                results: ResourceEntry.search(q,[offset: params.offset, max: params.max]),
                resultCount: ResourceEntry.countHits(q),
                q: q.encodeAsHTML()
            ]
        }
        render(template:"resourceSearchResultPanel",model:searchResults)
    }

The _resourceSearchResultPanel.gsp is just a table with this <paginate> tag:

<g:paginate action="searchForResources" total="${resultCount}" params='["q":"${q}"]'  />

The problem is that when the <paginate> tag calls the controller, the entire page is refreshed with the contents of the _resourceSearchResultPanel.gsp template, while I just want the _resourceSearchResultPanel.gsp itself to be refreshed inside search.gsp.

There's no update attribute like there is in the remoteField tag...

The paginate tag doesn't support generating ajax links so you'll have to write your own verison of the tag that calls remoteLink instead of link.

I would suggest to you remote pagination plugins for Grails. This would suffice your requirement. For more details please refer to following site:-
