datatables search capability

Hello Damien,

I am working on the search, the last missing bit. I had a look at your description here as well as at the a bit outdated one here and this one.

However, I can’t get the search field to work as it should. An exception gets thrown, which isn’t to revealing for me.

I added a Specification class to handle the search parameter, but no luck.

So, how could a simple search over all fields be realised? It would be great if the search worked in a generic way, on all members of type string for example.

Or can a dynamic method call such as DataTablesOutput<Meeting> findAllByTitle(DataTablesInput input, String title); be used?

Kind regards, Tom

Damiens Spring Data JPA datatables work great! Especially if one links jquery.spring-friendly.js properly in the containing HTML as described e.g. here 😄
