Hi
I have been looking
at the display tag documentation and it seems a pretty clever and useful set of
tags.
However I've not
seen exactly what I'm looking for, but I wonder if the facility is
there.
I have a web app
search mechanism that performs a query. What is returned is an array of ids
representing the objects that are the results of the search.
The first N of these
objects are loaded from the database and forwarded to a results.jsp which
displays them a table along with a " Previous 1 2 3 .... N Next " set of
links enabling the user to select which part of the results they want to see
next. Each link results in a request along the lines of
/NextPageOfResults.do?pageNumber=5. This takes from the ids array the fifth page
of ids and loads the objects from the database and then forwards to
results.jsp again.
Can this mechanism
be replaced using the displaytag API. Currently what I've seen seems to require
a full load of objects before scrolling takes place I am not happy to hold 5000
objects per user search in memory. I would like to use the api as it
is neater and offers extra functionality that I would not have time to
build myself.
Thx in
advance.
Kevin
