Everything you need to know, is in the manual, in the dbform tag. It's 
about using the attribute "tableList".

Although it's quite hepfull using this feature, I have to inform you 
that it's buggy. Or to be more accurate, it's incomplete:

In previous messages, I reported that using this feature for viewing 
data from two or more tables, navigation buttons (aka first, last, 
previous, next, new - didn't check for insert, update and delete) do not 
work. But for *only* viewing a data list, it's a simple, easy and quick 
solution. If you need data manupulation from the list, then you have to 
find a database with views support (MySQL guys report that views support 
will be added; in version 5).
(To find more about this "problem", you'll have to see tomcat's -or any 
jsp server you're using- output, plus some digging in the sources.)

You can simply download the manual (in .doc format) from the site:
