Displaytag alternatives


I'm building an application using Struts 2 + Spring 3 + Hibernate 3. I was wondering if any of you knows of any alternative to the "displaytag" library to draw and manage tables.

Not that I dislike it so much, but I read this comment and made me wonder about other options. And I see it has not been updated in a while and I was wondering if there is some reason for that (like a better/more popular alternative available).


Solution

  • I'm moving to a jQuery datagrid, returning the data with S2 json-plugin. The data gets to my action from a service object that then access the entity objects.

    Paging is currently in the service objects using the criteria api, backed by hibernate 3. Still a work in progress but it is working.
