Along the same lines, you might want to consider 'Value
List Handler' pattern:
Value List Handler or a modification of it might help
you design the functionality you are looking to implement.

Do you expect your users just to go through each page in hopes of finding something to select?
You need to categorize the products and then allow the user to drill down to the desired category of products and then let them select from a handful of items or at least provide a search function so that the list of products can be narrowed.

This is my scene.
I have around 1, 000, 000 products in database.
In my front end, user can select products by clicking a button.
once user clicks the button i have to show him all the products from the database, as a popup.
Now to show all 1, 000, 000 products, system hangs, responds after 5 minutes.
How can i show all products without much overhead.
will XML do any good.
