This isn't something that DisplayTag needs to solve. You should provide that information in your java code. For example, if you have an object that looks something like this:



All you have to do is provide a method to get the full name:



Same goes for the size of a set. Just provide a getter that returns mySet.size().

Thanks Gregg for your reply.
I have done all these things already(getters and setters for fields) whatever you are saying.
I have a list object from which i want information in different columns.
In one column i want Name containing firstname and lastname attributes.
Tell me syntax for that how can i do that using display tag?
Same i have getters and setters for set also.But how can i calulate its size in column.I want syntax of display tag for that.
thanks.

I don't understand why you think you need the display tag syntax. It is the same syntax you use for any other properties.



Where you have getName() that returns the full name and getSomeSize() that returns the size.

Actually I want to show pagination,sorting in my application so i am going for display tag.

Secondly ,i dont have name property.I have two firstname and lastname properties and i want to show both under title Name.So i want a syntax for that.

Secondly i have set property "Replies" and i want to show size of "Replies" set.
So how can i show that?
Thanks Gregg .

Again i have added display tag jar in lib.
Do i need to add something in my web.xml file ?Because when i try to add <c:out>
its showing me error as unknown tag.
Please guide me.

You need to read my first reply to you. That is your answer. I don't know what else to tell you to help you understand. I wasn't asking why you are using Display Tag. I was asking why you still aren't understanding what you need to do, since I already told you with code examples. Just read what I wrote again, add the code for getName() which returns your first and last name concatenated. Add a getter method that returns your replies.size().

Add those properties as columns to your display tag. Again, I showed you all the code you need.

c:out is part of the JSTL. You need to download that and include its jars in your classpath.
