Display tags are pretty good option when it comes to creating a enterprise class data grid. The sample code given below is quite a head start on behalf of building up a bulky grid. // Create class that returns a list package org.ixfree.Displayags; import java.util.*; public class GridList { private List aList; public List getAList() { return aList; } public void setAList(List list) { aList = list; } public GridList(int i) { this.aList = new LinkedList(); } } // POJO bean that goes into the list. DataBean in our case. package org.ixfree.Displayags; public class DataBean { private String name; private String age; public String getName() { return this.name; } public String getAge() { return this.age; } public String setName(String name) { this.name = name; } public String setAge(String age) { this.age = age; } } // Get the libraries reffered // Sql needed if you wanna get the data out of the table. Ofcourse there are much better ways to do it. <%@ taglib uri=”http://displaytag.sf.net” prefix=”display”%> <%@ page import=”java.util.*” %> <%@ page import=”org.ixfree.Displayags.*” %> <%@ page import=”java.sql.*” %> <% // Make a list of data on behalf of populating grid List list = new GridList(6).getAList(); // .. Get the data into the bean as well as add it to the list. // .. Every bean here refers to a row in the grid. Yeppiiie…. // Put the list in the request request.setAttribute( “storedList”,list); %> // Make it as a XHTML (good on behalf of the browser)

### ixfreeDemoDisplayTags.css goes this way ### html { scrollbar-base-color: #dddddd; } table.myDisplayTagStyle { background-color: #dddddd; } td.myDisplayTagStyle { border-color: black; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px; border-style: solid; margin: 0; font-family:Arial Verdana; font-size:10pt; overflow: auto; white-space:nowrap; padding-top: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; } tr.odd { border-color: black; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px; border-style: solid; margin: 0; padding: 4px; background-color: #ffffff; white-space:nowrap; } tr.even { border-color: black; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px; border-style: solid; margin: 0; padding: 4px; background-color: #dddddd; white-space:nowrap; } th.myDisplayTagStyle { background-color: #dddddd; border-color: black; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px; border-style: solid; font-size: 9pt; white-space: nowrap; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-left: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; }
