Hi folks,
Im trying to build an enhancement to my web app, by including pagination to diplay the results of a query in the jsp. I ve tried using the diplay tag library to implement the same .Before using the display tag library , I was just printing the List by using jstl tags and EL , something of the nature below.

which shows the following output
Code Description IsActive? IsEditable? Edit
SINGLE FEMALE Yes No Edit
SINGLE MALE Yes No Edit
MARRIED MALE Yes Yes Edit
where 'Edit' is a hyper link.


I did look at a couple of samples of display tag library and modified my code to the following.

However , now when I try to print the results, I get a weird output . As the records are repeated horizontally across the across the table defined in addition to the normal vertical listing.
also, the records are not listed accordint to the table structure that I have defined.
The output here is.
7 items found, displaying 1 to 2.[First/Prev] 1, 2, 3, 4 [Next/Last]
Code Description IsActive? IsEditable? Edit
SINGLE FEMALE Yes No SINGLE MALE Yes No MARRIED MALE Yes Yes MARRIED FEMALE Yes Yes Married Male Yes No Married Female Yes No Married Female Yes No
SINGLE FEMALE Yes No SINGLE MALE Yes No MARRIED MALE Yes Yes MARRIED FEMALE Yes Yes Married Male Yes No Married Female Yes No Married Female Yes No

And the hyper link associated with 'Edit' is not being displayed either .

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT:further details added.

Please provide the screenshots if possible. Also provide the log. It would help us to analyze the issue faster.

Hi ravi,
Thanks for replying.I've attached the screenshots of the scenario before and after adding pagination.
Also , the hyper link 'Edit' is absent in the latter case.

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for replying. However there was no change in output despite using your code. I still get Multiple tables of the result set placed side by side.
Even when I say page size ="2", the attribute that defines the no of rows displayed , there are multiple tables of the result set placed side by side, why is this happening ?

Did you look at the example or the basic tutorialfor the tag library. I have never used the library before, but it seems like it is supposed to completely replace the need for using the templated html.

Here is some code fragment for how I think it should work. You should not have any templated html for creating the table, columns, or rows.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for replying. I tried your code fragment , but says "Nothing found to display" . I also tried replacing the property attribute with the value attribute , it threw a number format exception .
Any ideas on where i could be going wrong?

I never used that tag library before so I can't help any further. You may want to try subscribing to the project mailing list

Hey,

The snippet that Mike gave above should work, you can also put the list straight in using EL, like:
Try that and see what you get. Keep it simple to start with, you can add in the other columns later.

what's stopping you from doing that ? as pointed out before, did you check the display tag column reference ? it has a 'href' attribute in which you can show the column values as links.
