Hi Andrew,
I ran into similar problems. Anoter developer on
the team wrote a tag. It extracts the paging
information and goes to the database table to find out
the total number of records.
The tag retrieves and displays only "the first
set" of records in accordance with the paging
specification (say 10 records) together with links
labeled as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...... at the bottom of the
page. And the tag goes to the database table to find
and display the next set of records in accordance with
the specific link that is subsequently clicked by the
user.
The problem is that the tag works only in the
"session" scope and also suffers performance hit when
accommodating large number of users who are online
simutaneously.
Is there any better solution?
