Anupam,
Your solution is very logical but lacks practicality. Think of a
scenario where there are ten thousand records to be displayed. Then it is
not practical to put such huge amount of data in a single page. Consider the
time it will take to download on a browser.
Secondly, not all browsers support javascript and even those which
do, have the option of getting it disabled. Right??
I think going back to the server and getting the values is the best
option...

Hi jayant,
The scope of my answer is that ur client is a web browser and server is a
servlet .
1. How about this approach ..
The servlet uses the DB connection once and in run time as and when
the items are read the servlet generates a
formatted html page where 100 items get clubbed under one
division/Layer (DIV tag or LAYER tag... decide that depending
on client browser type) .
2. The final html generated by servlet also embeds javascript (logic code
which displays the divisions or layers) to enable the user to scroll u and
down in his browser.
3. Here neither the con is bound with session id or whole data is kept with
session .
so some problems mentioned by u are overcome.
So even the servlet is not invoked every time (from the browser link
of next set of items)
for next 100 items and so forth.

Hi Guys,
What is the best way to implement Page Scrolling. I mean, if 1000 items need
to be displayed, I want to display 100 items per page with a link to the
next page. I have thought out many possibilities, but are unable to decide
upon the proper one.
Thanks,
Jayant.
