1. Provide a query screen
2. Load the collection of your custom bean based on search criteria screen
(1)
3. Forward the collection bean (thru session object) to Display tag to
allow user to page thru (http://edhill.its.uiowa.edu/display-0.8/)
4. The display tage also have option to export the result into csv or excel
spreadsheet
5. Watchout for large result set, seen it can take lots of memory.
Your custom bean must provide get/set methods properties
Hope this help

Subject: Database generated Reports with Struts Taglibs
Hi, I'd like an opinion on generating database reports with struts, though
using an Action class or a custom bean to generate it, then be forwarded
to
the presentation layer.
I didn't see any examples in the Struts in Action book, so I was wondering
on the best practice.
Also, my problem is, that I don't want to necessarily have a getter method
return a Collection, by fetching all records in memory, I'd like for each
iteration, or the call to getXXX method, for it to fetch another record.
Basically, if someone has done anything similar, generated large database
reports using the strtus framework, I'd like some direction.
Thanks a bunch in advance.
Ilya
