I need some directions on how to use the struts html and/or neste taglibs to handle the case where there's a collection property of a form bean that may contain a big number of objects. In this case, I'd like to able to do some sort of paging on these objects and I'd like to know if struts have any support for that.
For example: I have a form bean, AuthorFormBean, that has a collection of books he wrote. I can use the nested taglib to render the book collection, so the user can fill the books data from the same form he fills the rest of the data about the author. So far, so good.
The problem (or question) is: what if the number of books gets too big and I want to split these books into pages (and have a navigator for those pages), but they still belong to the same form bean, so no matter which page the user is, the nested tags (<nested:text>, for example) will know the correct index of the objects we're talking about (if we're on page 2 and each page has 10 books, the nested tags will start getting the objects from index 9 and not 0, and so on) and properly populates the input fields and updates the corresponding objects when loading and submiting the form respectively.
I know how to do it directly with pure html code, but I'd like to know if it would be possible to get some advantage on using struts for this matter.
I hope I could make myself clear.
Thanks for any help.
