DataTables server-side processing with pipelining - Can you help me to understand ?
Hi, I don't understand the example with pipelining ... How can I integrate in my code.
This is my javascirpt
oTable = $('#std_table').dataTable(
{
"bProcessing": true,
"bServerSide": true,
"bAutoWidth" : false,
"aoColumns": [
/* Id */ {"bSearchable": true,
"bVisible": true,
"bSortable" : false},
/* name */ null,
/* name */ null,
/* Associated Users */ {"sClass": "center",
"sType": "numeric",
"bSortable" : false
},
/* Is role */null,
/* Date Creation */ {"sClass": "center",
"sType": "date" }
],
"aaSorting" : [[5, "desc"]],
"sAjaxSource": "http://localhost/index.php/admin/ajax_call_grid_roles_table",
"fnServerData": function ( sSource, aoData, fnCallback ) {
$.ajax( {
"dataType": 'json',
"type": "POST",
"url": sSource,
"data": aoData,
"success": fnCallback
} );
}
} );
Works very well !!
But still in pre-production zone, and the ajax calls for filtering, pagination, ordering may generate a DOS ...
Where I coul'd place your example ? I have fnServerData already customized with an ajax POST call.
And ... in the Initialisation code there is at the top
$('#exampvar oCache = {
iCacheLower: -1
};
Is there an error in these 3 line of code ?
Thanks a lot !!

As stated in the example, the pipelining only works for pagination. The reason for this is that pagination is (typically) the most common user interaction with the table - therefore there is an obvious opportunity to reduce the number of comms sessions between the client and server. The paging is easy to predict on the client-side, page 2 must follow page 1 for example!
However, when you start doing filtering, sorting etc the client-side has absolutely no idea what the data might be on the server - so an XHR is needed. If you want to avoid this then you should load all of the information into the client-side, which of course has the down-side that the more rows you add, the more processing the browser needs to do (and is therefore slower).
Regarding your oCache variable - yes there is an error here. I'm not sure what you are actually trying to achieve here. You don't need any jQuery to declare this variable. Try something like:
[code]
var oCache = {
iCacheLower: -1
};
[/code]
Hope this helps,
