Extend FilterTable component with FilterTableState extension to access the following capabilities: -Save the state of table including filters, sorting, the order and visibility and width of columns. -Set a default profile -Delete a profile -Reset the table to it's original state -Add functions on server side -Set a default function on server side -Keep the existing column switching function You have to implement FilterTableStateHandler interface which handle the saving process of profiles into a database. You can implement FilterTableClickFunctionHandler interface optionally. In the module descriptor you have to inherit this widget BEFORE com.vaadin.DefaultWidgetSet, because it uses com.google.gwt.query.Query. See: https://github.com/gwtquery/gwtquery/issues/213
