requestScope is the default I believe. So if your list is in the request
scope, you shouldn't need to specify that. Check that with the docs
though.

It depends on how you're accessing this in the <display:table> tag. You
can't just specify "testdata," you need to reference it through the model.
So in this case, you'd have something like:
<display:table name="model.testdata" uid="datum">
...
</display:table>
And that should do it. If you're having issues with that, look at the
scope in which the model is stored. The other possible complicating
factor is that I know EL evaluation deals with Map keys properly (check
out how BeanUtils handles it, for example), but displaytag doesn't use
exactly the same standards (or at least didn't use to; 1.1 may be using
BeanUtils), so if it's not working properly through a map, try creating a
bean with get/set methods for your properties. But I'm pretty certain it
does work with a map, although all the examples I'm finding in my own code
are with getters.
