4.6. Using the Display Tag Library
Problem
You want an easier way of displaying tabular data that supports paging and sorting.
Solution
Use the Display tag JSP tag library.
Example 4-13 shows a JSP page that displays the list of U.S. presidents using the model data from Recipe 4.5. This JSP page displays a table rendered using the display tag library. The displayed page has alternating table row colors, allows for paging, and offers column sorting, all without requiring any custom Java coding.
Example 4-13. Display tag example
