I've used it. :-)
By looping data source I mean any loop construct (JSP Tag or Java based)
that can be used to generate data. In the examples, the tag
<ex:searchresults></ex:searchresults> would evaluate the body content
of the tag for each search result that it contains.
The loop can also be any Java loop construct (for, while, do). The
following
is the loop code for the pager demo.
<table width="90%" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4">
<% for (int i = 0; i < webPalette.length; i++) { %>
<pg:item>
<tr><th bgcolor="<%= webPalette[i][0] %>"><font color="<%=
webPalette[i][1] %>">
<%= i + 1 %></font></th></tr>
</pg:item>
<% } %>
</table>
Here is very simple loop:
<% for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { %>
<pg:item><%= i %></pg:item>
<% } %>
Also, David's explanation is exactly right.
