Incidentally, about two years ago I began work on something called VisML which included this type of functionality on a much grander scale.
Basically, it was a set of rich client-side GUI widgets for web apps. I had some pretty cool controls built (I modeled many of them after the common Windows controls, with some other nice additions). I had a whole Javascript-based event model built around it, and a whole API that you could utilize. It was pretty elegant if I do say so myself, and was even cross-browser at the time. I even had the beginnings of an IDE for laying out the pages that generated the required markup to drop on your pages. I've been considering resurrecting that project but implementing it as a set of taglibs, which I think would be better than requiring a page author to write script code as in the previous version, even if it was very simple and minimal code, it should be possible to not require any (although some might still be used for more advanced functions). The IDE idea I would drop completely, but the underlying widgets, event model and API, conceptually at least, would remain.
I think there are now any number of projects like this out there, which is what has given me pause in jumping right into it, along with a general lack of time of course :)

Hi Nitin,
Struts is server-side - predominately a controller, although it does include some things to facilitate building the view. What you're asking for is something that would sit client-side and provide DHTML manipulation of a HTML table - right?
That I'm aware of, there is no such animal. Struts is quite popular though, so you might try googling for this wonder-control. Try something like:
JSP +Table +Sort
I can think of ways this could be acheived using XML/XSLT on the client end, but you'd be at the mercy of users having MSXML installed. All other possible solutions that I can think of involve writing some really contrived JavaScript ...
Good luck with your search.
Eddie
