             Summary: extendedDataTable partial update => extend the functionality with INSERT and DELETE row where scroll position does not go up.
                 Key: RF-11916
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11916
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Tom Giberius


Situation:
1) extendDataTable with a verticall ScrollBar
2) Insert or delete record by insert/delete in myBean and by a re-render of the table.
3) The re-render causes a full rebuild of the table in the DOM and the effect is that the scrollbar goes up to the beginning.In fact this makes a scrollable extendedDataTable not useful for inserting/deleting records. 

Partial Table Render for extendedDataTable is available in RF 4.1 with a construction like:
render="myTable at rows(myBean.listOfUpdateRows):myColumn"
This works fine for already available rows and indeed it is an UPDATE.
Also @body, @header and @footer are available for partial table update.

I would like to hava a kind of partitial table INSERT and UPDATE where not the whole table is "re-draw" by only the record(s) are INSERTED or DELETED and where the scroll position for the user visually stays the same.

It could look like:
render="myTable at insert(myBean.Row)
render="myTable at delete(myBean.RowKey)

If you have questions I will gladly elaborate on above.
