If displaytag uses HttpSession dumping the entire result set, it will not work for me. I am developing for a highly distributed application with requirements for thousands of users. There are like 15 app servers clustered just on the app side (not including the DB.)
And yes, I do (unfortunately forced by the users), have like a million rows that could be in the result set. I am actually planning to use Hibernate and its second level cache, so the DB wouldn't be hit every time a user hits "next page". The data is very rarely changed, so stale data isn't a concern. Sounds like all the solutions you presented are "presentation" tier solution. I guess, I am looking for more of a business tier solution. I know that it's "crossing the lines", but aside from isolating the pagination among the business logic, I won't be able to do much more. The Action class is kind of a middle ground between the business logic and the presentation tier, so I was going to call some code from there to do the pagination BEFORE it goes to the result page. If no one knows of any non-tag (non-Session) solutions for this, then so be it... I'll have to build one. Thanks for your suggestions anyway, NG.
