I think your JSP skills are a little rusty because the JSP page source code you included spelled it out for you:
1) Import the class org.displaytag.sample: <jsp:directive.page import="org.displaytag.sample.*" /" 2) Instantiate a new "ReportList" class (from the above package) and save it in request scope under the name "test" <jsp:scriptlet> request.setAttribute( "test", new ReportList(6) ); </jsp:scriptlet> 3) Use a displaytag table on the object (in whatever scope) named "test": <display:table name="test" /> It might be time to hit the books and refresh your JSP skills (or learn them if you skipped straight from HTML to regular non-JSP Java programming).

Hi, I found this display tag, but I don't understand where data come from : http://displaytag.homeip.net/displaytag-examples-1.1/example-nocolumns.jsp The source code : <jsp:root version="1.2" xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" xmlns:display="urn:jsptld:http://displaytag.sf.net"> <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <jsp:directive.page import="org.displaytag.sample.*" /> <jsp:include page="inc/header.jsp" flush="true" /> <h2>Simplest case, no columns</h2> <jsp:scriptlet> request.setAttribute( "test", new ReportList(6) ); </jsp:scriptlet> <display:table name="test" /> <p>The simplest possible usage of the table tag is to point the table tag at a java.util.List implementation and do nothing else. The table tag will iterate through the list and display a column for each property contained in the objects.</p> <p>Typically, the only time that you would want to use the tag in this simple way would be during development as a sanity check. For production, you should always define at least a single column.</p> <jsp:include page="inc/footer.jsp" flush="true" /> </jsp:root> Thank you, your help is appreciated. --------------------------------- Talk is cheap.
