Help needed for integrating Displaytag with spring web mvc

I just wants to know that is it possible to integrate Displaytag with spring web mvc ?

If it is possible then can anybody please provide some tutorial or links for that ?

Thanks in advance..

Solution

  • A quick google for "DisplayTag Spring" suggests it works.

    From DisplayTag with Spring

    There is no extra configuration needed to use the displayTag with Spring. Just drop in the jar file to WEB-INF/lib and start using it in your jsps

    From How to use display tag library in Spring MVC

    Place these three jars under WEB-INF/lib folder displaytag-1.2.jar, displaytag-export-poi-1.2.jar and displaytag-portlet-1.2.jar.

    Before using it in your jsp you should have the below line <%@ taglib uri="://displaytag.sf.net" prefix="display"%>and now you can use it how ever you want like

    note - prefix uri with http.

    Btw. a common problem that occurs

    with Displaytag + Spring canned *FormController is that onSubmit is (by default) only called on POST requests. Keep in mind that displaytag uses GET requests for sorting and pagination (as it should), so you may have to play with overriding the isFormSubmission method in your controller, if you want to handle sorting and pagination in onSubmit
