How to show only 10 entries in a jsp-page?

[Gerry Mueller]

Hi, I am ther again wiht a new problem.

I just have a vague idea how i can resolve the problem.
So i post this to have some idea. Perhaps you're allready do this.

The Problem: I have a database table with more than 100 entries and i would like to show these
in a jsp-page, Not a problem! (connection to database and... follow my sight)
The really problem is to show these entries only 10 per page and still have only jsp-page.

So I want to have only one jsp-page to show this entries, and in this page only 10 entries and 2 butons:
a foward and a backward one.

How can i do it. Have anybody an idea?
Please help!

What you want to achieve is called "Pagination" and we have a beautiful link for this:

Hi,

thank you for your answer.
I tried it wiht displaytag-library, but it didn't work:

I write this code on my jsp-page

    <jsp:root version="1.2" xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" xmlns:display="urn:jsptld:http://displaytag.sf.net">
  <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

  <h2>Simplest case, no columns</h2>

  <jsp:scriptlet> request.setAttribute("lieferanten", new TestList(10, false) ); </jsp:scriptlet>
  <display:table name="lieferanten" />

  <p>Typically, the only time that you would want to use the tag in this simple way would be during development as a
  sanity check. For production, you should always define at least a single column.</p>

I am sure i do it nice wiht adding these 3 jar on WEBINF/lib of my webApp: displaytag-1.2.jar, displaytag-export-poi-1.2.jar, displaytag-portlet-1.2.jar

what is the eroor i made?

</jsp:root>

In this code, my table name is "lieferanten". But i got an error on TestList(10, false) (is red underlined)!
when pointing the mouse on it, it show: "TestList can't be resolved to a type"!!
Ans the tag "display:table" is yellow underlined on <display:table name="lieferanten" />
