retrieving data over a number of pages

Hi,

could anyone talk me through how to implement a function that retrieves a set of data and then for example displays the output with a predefined number of entries for each page. Like this forum when you go through the topic list and clicking next page to see the next 30 entries.

thanks
Erik

Hey Erik,

I took the ValueListIterator design pattern, modified it a bit and was able to implement paging and sorting as well as the Next, Previous links...

Check it out, it's really useful.

This has been addressed many times. See the JSP FAQ.

Thanks guys,

I just needed to find a starting point. I've seen articles about this before but was unable to find them this time.
