Question

This question is similar to GWT Table that supports sorting, scrolling and filtering

However I would prefer open source and I am looking for snappy performance. I want a good way to perform dynamic filtering on rows.

SmartGWT’s adaptive filter looks interesting. http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/showcase/#grid_adaptive_filter_featured_category

Anyone have any experience with this?

Google Web Toolkit Incubator has a range of tables to select from:

• BulkTableRenderers Bulk rendering of tables(up to 10x faster then normal rendering).
• Scrolling tables, where the footer and header are fixed.
• Paging tables, where the table can page through arbitrary data sets.
• Editable tables, complete with common cell editors.

From those, PagingScrollTable (demo) seems the best base for creating your own custom solution. To add filtering to it, you’d probably have to tinker with the underlying TableModel (or one of it’s subclasses, like MutableTableModel).
