How can I retrieve/set the current settings of a DOF grid, including filter /sort/column-sequence?

1. In DOFObjectListUI there are two methods:

Code:

     public DOFObjectFilter getFilter() { ... }
     public void takeOverFilter(DOFObjectFilter value) { ... }

2. You may use DOFObjectFilterDataManager to store the filter as XML in CaptainCasa's stream store:

Code:

     public void saveFilter(DOFObjectFilter filter, String userName, String filterName) {...}
     public DOFObjectFilter readFilter(DOFObjectType objectType, String userName, String filterName) {...}

3. There are methods in DOFObjectFilterDataManager to convert the filter definition to some XML string and back. These functions are/were private functions up to now. We just published them with 20210412_INT1 (only available via Maven).

Code:

     public static DOFObjectFilterData convert2Data(DOFObjectFilter filter) {...}
     public static DOFObjectFilter convert2Filter(DOFObjectFilterData data) 
 {...}

The object DOFObjectFilterData is a pure data-object which you can easily convert to XML by JAXB, e.g. using JAXBUtil helper class:

Code:

         String xml = DOFJaxb.marshalObject(...object...);
         Xyz o = (Xyz)DOFJaxb.unmarshalObject(xml,Xyz.class);
