1) Environment

• PrimeFaces version: 6.0
• Does it work on the newest PrimeFaces version? NO
• Application server + version: Tomcat 8
• Affected browsers: All

2) Expected behavior

dataTable filter should work normally

3) Actual behavior

When I am trying to use the filter inside the dataTable is not filtering the data

4) Steps to reproduce

Upgrade primefaces 5.3 to 6.0

5) Sample XHTML

filteredValue="#{holidayBean.filteredHolidaysList}" class="fixed_table" paginatorPosition="bottom" rowsPerPageTemplate="5,10,20,50">

            <f:facet name="header">
                <div align="left">
                    <p:outputPanel>
                        <p:inputText id="globalFilter" onkeyup="PF('DataTable').filter();PF('statusDialog').hide()" style="width:150px;" placeholder="#{msg['SearchFields']}" />
                    </p:outputPanel>
                </div>
            </f:facet>
            <p:column headerText="#{msg['Description']}" sortBy="#{holiday.name}" filterBy="#{holiday.name}" filterStyle="display:none" filterMatchMode="contains" class="fixed_table_width">
                <h:outputText value="#{holiday.name}" />
            </p:column>

6) Sample bean

public class Holiday extends TimestampEntity implements Serializable {

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private int id;


private String name;

 private Date startDate;

private Date endDate;

private Company company;

public Holiday() {
}

public Holiday(int id, String name, Date startDate, Date endDate, Company company) {
    super();
    this.id = id;
    this.name = name;
    this.startDate = startDate;
    this.endDate = endDate;
    this.company = company;
}

public int getId() {
    return id;
}

public void setId(int id) {
    this.id = id;
}

public String getName() {
    return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
}

public Date getStartDate() {
    return startDate;
}

public void setStartDate(Date startDate) {
    this.startDate = startDate;
}

public Date getEndDate() {
    return endDate;
}

public void setEndDate(Date endDate) {
    this.endDate = endDate;
}

public Company getCompany() {
    return company;
}

public void setCompany(Company company) {
    this.company = company;
}

}

I suggest you take the steps above and "Clone this repository https://github.com/primefaces/primefaces-test.git in order to reproduce your problem, you'll have better chance to receive an answer and a solution."

We use datatable filtering all the time and it is working fine in PF 6.0 so it must be something wrong with your code. By creating a simple test case like above you should be able to prove whether or not it is a real bug.

The sample is not complete and not in minimal form. There is no HolidayBean and no TimestampEntity for instance.

---

AFAICS, please check the way to create the table and examine any error on the console since using ajax='false' is suspicious.

<p:commandButton action="#{holidayBean.create()}"  ... ajax="false" type="push" />

closing as invalid as the sample is not complete. Maybe better try to forum first if you don't have a complete sample.
