I would really like to branch off a very key idea relating to this intial question. I am running a site with a directory that you can browse. Right now, I just select all records an allow the jsptags pager library cut out the needed portion. However, I fear that if we go to a larger membership, this will start to slow things down.
>From an OOD perspective, is it right to limit the query in the view or the business layer? An if limit is only supported on a select number of databases, it seems like the wrong way to go. At the same time, I would rather not have the jsp developer worrying if I am giving him/her a result set or just a Collection of model items. Am I to assume that the large select support handles all this in the background so that even though it looks like you are passing a full collection to the view, underneath it is only retrieving and dumping the data into the model object as needed?
