Displaytag Performance issue

[Mohammed Yousuff]

When we are using display tag it loads all the data in the DB to a collection and it show whenever the page was clicked. It works perfectly as of now. However when the data grows it will cause Memory Out Of bound Exception in the application (because we expected more than 50 lacks data will be generated).

So, we came up with external a sorting option which is available in displaytag 1.1 and we are only using displaytag 1.0. Can you please advise me is there any way to solve this problem in displaytag 1.0 itself .

Please let me also know some of the example codes to get a better idea
Thanks a lot for your help

I don't know displaytag, but most people will say regardless of the tool 50000 elements should never be brought down to the browser. Find a way to better deliver what they user wants. For example ajax could be used to implement a type ahead feature.
