      <emphasis role="bold">Example:</emphasis>
    </para>
    <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[...
    <rich:dataFilterSlider sliderListener="#{mybean.doSlide}"

    <title>Details of Usage</title>
    <para>The <property>dataFilterSlider</property> component is bound to some UIData component
      using a <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;for&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> attribute and filters data in this table. </para>
    <para>
      <emphasis role="bold">Example:</emphasis>
    </para>
    <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[...
    <rich:dataFilterSlider sliderListener="#{mybean.doSlide}"
                        startRange="0"
                        endRange="50000"
                        increment="10000"
                        handleValue="1"
                        for="carIndex"
                        forValRef="inventoryList.carInventory"

    <para>In this example other two attributes are used for filtering:</para>
    <itemizedlist>
      <listitem>
        <emphasis>
          <property>&quot;forValRef&quot;</property>
        </emphasis> is a string which is used in a value attribute of the target UIData component.
        It&apos;s designed for resetting the UIData component back to the original list provided
        by a backing bean. </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <emphasis>
          <property>&quot;filterBy&quot;</property>
        </emphasis> is a getter of an object member that is to be compared to a slider value.
        It&apos;s a value that is used in results filtering. </listitem>
    </itemizedlist>
    <para><emphasis>
        <property>&quot;handleValue&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> is an attribute for keeping the current handler position on the
        <property>dataFilterSlider</property> component. Based on the current value, appropriate
      values obtained from a getter method defined in <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;filterBy&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> are filtered.</para>
    <para>One more important attribute is a <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;storeResults&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> one that allows the <property>dataFilterSlider</property> component to keep UIData
      target object in session.</para>
    <para>If it&apos;s necessary the component submits a form on event of a handler state
      changing, use the <emphasis>
        <property>&quot;onSlide&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> attribute (<emphasis>
        <property>&quot;onChange&quot;</property>
      </emphasis> is its alias). When the attribute definition = true, submission on this event is
      defined.</para>
