Struts displaytag tutorial: Sort / Pagination data using displaytag in Struts

by · June 9, 2009

Struts display tag library is an open source suite of custom tags that provide high-level web presentation patterns which will work in an MVC model. The library provides a significant amount of functionality while still being easy to use. Displaytag can handle column display, sorting, paging, cropping, grouping, exporting, smart linking and decoration of a table in a customizable XHTML style. In the following example we will see how to dispaly data using display tag and to do pagination and sorting. We will use Eclipse as an IDE for our example.

Step 1: Create Eclipse dynamic web project and copy JAR files

Start Eclipse and goto File -> New -> Project -> Dynamic Web Project struts dynamic web project Following is the list of required JAR files to be added in Java Class Path of your project. Download displaytag JAR files from http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/1.2/download.html. displaytag-jar-file-list

Step 2: Create Action, Form and Bean class

Once the project is created, create 3 java files ForbesData, UserAction and UserForm in package net.viralpatel.struts.displaytag. struts-displaytag-new-java Copy following content into ForbesData.java file.
package net.viralpatel.struts.displaytag;

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class ForbesData {
	private int rank;
	private String name;
	private int age;
	private double netWorth;

	public ForbesData() {

	}
	
	public ForbesData(int rank, String name, int age, double netWorth) {
		this.rank = rank;
		this.name = name;
		this.age = age;
		this.netWorth = netWorth;
	}
	public ArrayList<ForbesData> loadData() {
		ArrayList<ForbesData> userList = new ArrayList<ForbesData>();
		userList.add(new ForbesData(1, "William Gates III", 53, 40.0));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(2, "Warren Buffett", 78, 37));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(3, "Carlos Slim Helu & family", 69, 35));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(4, "Lawrence Ellison", 64, 22.5));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(5, "Ingvar Kamprad & family", 83, 22));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(6, "Karl Albrecht", 89, 21.5));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(7, "Mukesh Ambani", 51, 19.5));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(8, "Lakshmi Mittal", 58, 19.3));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(9, "Theo Albrecht", 87, 18.8));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(10, "Amancio Ortega", 73, 18.3));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(11, "Jim Walton", 61, 17.8));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(12, "Alice Walton", 59, 17.6));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(12, "Christy Walton & family", 54, 17.6));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(12, "S Robson Walton", 65, 17.6));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(15, "Bernard Arnault", 60, 16.5));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(16, "Li Ka-shing", 80, 16.2));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(17, "Michael Bloomberg", 67, 16));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(18, "Stefan Persson", 61, 14.5));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(19, "Charles Koch", 73, 14));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(19, "David Koch", 68, 14));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(21, "Liliane Bettencourt", 86, 13.4));
		userList.add(new ForbesData(22, "Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud", 54, 13.3));
		return userList;
	}
	public int getRank() {
		return rank;
	}
	public void setRank(int rank) {
		this.rank = rank;
	}
	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}
	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}
	public int getAge() {
		return age;
	}
	public void setAge(int age) {
		this.age = age;
	}
	public double getNetWorth() {
		return netWorth;
	}
	public void setNetWorth(double netWorth) {
		this.netWorth = netWorth;
	}
}

Code language: Java (java)
Copy following content into UserForm.java
package net.viralpatel.struts.displaytag;

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class UserForm extends org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm {

	private ArrayList<ForbesData> forbesList;

	public ArrayList<ForbesData> getForbesList() {
		return forbesList;
	}

	public void setForbesList(ArrayList<ForbesData> forbesList) {
		this.forbesList = forbesList;
	}
}

Code language: Java (java)
Copy following content into UserAction.java
package net.viralpatel.struts.displaytag;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.apache.struts.action.Action;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;

public class UserAction extends Action {
	
    private final static String SUCCESS = "success";
	
	public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
            HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws Exception {
        UserForm userForm = (UserForm) form;
        ForbesData actorData = new ForbesData();
        userForm.setForbesList(actorData.loadData());
        return mapping.findForward(SUCCESS);
    }
      
}

    Hi Viral,
    I am encountering a problem while running it. When I add the taglib. it shows me an error at the tag where the display tag is used. I am not able to view the output. How can I correct it?

    Hi Surabhi, I think you getting the error may be because required JAR files are missing or not properly added. Check the JAR file for Struts display tag and also check the version.

    I have a related question: I keep seeing these HTML/CODE/PHP snippets that are shown in a similar way, with line numbers, odd and even line highlighting etc. My question is: what editor works that way? i’d like to use it also and produce screenshots like that.

    can someone reply to [email protected]?

      Hi Yosefus,
      For adding style sheet like odd even colors to the displaytable, you have to add following CSS classes in the CSS file that you include in JSP.

      odd– assigned to the tr tag of all odd numbered data rows
      even– assigned to the tr tag of all even numbered data rows
      sorted– assigned to the th tag of the sorted column
      order1– assigned to the th tag of the sorted column if sort order is ascending
      order2– assigned to the th tag of the sorted column if sort order is descending
      sortable– assigned to the th tag of a sortable column

      Thus your CSS file may have entry like:

      .odd {
      background-color: white;
      }
      .even {
      background-color: #FFEE88;
      }

      Hi Smita,
      For using Displaytag library, you need to include its jar files in classpath. Check if your classpath has these jars:

      displaytag-1.2.jar
      displaytag-export-poi-1.2.jar
      displaytag-portlet-1.2.jar

    Hi Viral,
    Appriciate your help to convert pagination style in
    { First | Prev | 1 2 3 4 | Next | Last }
    or
    { First | Prev | (page 1, Item 1-10 ) in select/drop down | Next | Last }.
    Simply wann to remove brackets i.e.
    [First/Prev] 1, 2, 3, 4 [Next/Last]

    Reply
    • Viral Patel says:
      29 December, 2009, 19:20  

      @ashish: You can configure the pagination links by changing the property in displaytag.properties file. For overriding the default properties, you need to create a file called displaytag.properties and place it in classpath. And change the property paging.banner.full which by default is:

       [<a href="{1}" rel="nofollow">First</a>/ <a href="{2}" rel="nofollow">Prev</a>] 
{0} [ 
<a href="{3}" rel="nofollow">Next</a>/ <a href="{4}" rel="nofollow">Last </a>]

      and modify the default value and change it into:

       <a href="{1}" rel="nofollow">First</a> | <a href="{2}" rel="nofollow">Prev</a> |
 {0} |
 <a href="{3}" rel="nofollow">Next</a> | <a href="{4}" rel="nofollow">Last </a>

      Check the document at http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/10/configuration.html for more details.

      Hope this will resolve the issue.

    Does pagination only extract records (for exmaple, from a database) during navigation time when the user is clicking on the forward / backward / first / last buttons or does displaytag need to load the entire list of data (in memory) once the UI page is rendered?

    If I have a search screen and the user mistakingly created a search filter that returns thousands of records, I’d hate to load that amount of data in memory. What I would like to do is display only a small subset of data returned from the search result and extracts the next subset depending on the user navigation/pagination. Is this how displaytag works?

    Hi,
    This stuff is really helpful for display tag usage.
    But I have some different scenario for the display tag which is as below.
    I am using an AJAX to call the internal .jsp pages inside one template .jsp page,
    And I am using display tag inside the inner page for displaying list and using export functionality of display tag.
    But my problem with display tag is I am not able to use sort functionality due to AJAX.

    Can anybody tell me how I should call JavaScript function from display tag for sorting functionality?

    Thanks in advance,
    Manoj Nikam.

    Kumar,
    I just got this working with Struts 2 myself. So it is possible. The main differences are on the user.jsp page and for me my Contacts class.

    I actually started with the tutorial Viral posted on using Hibernate with Struts 2:
    http://viralpatel.net/tutorial-struts2-hibernate-example-eclipse/

    I added the jar files listed here that were not already present, then

    I had to change the Contacts class so it was Comparable (required for sorting)

    public class Contact implements Serializable, Comparable { …

    Then instead of name=”sessionScope.UserForm.forbesList” I used the list of contacts I pulled from a database using hibernate listContacts. This is made available from the ContactAction which is specified in my struts.xml file when I call this .jsp file. Then I list an action in the requestURI=”” I just used index since that was my action that called this page.

    That is all I remember changing here. Hope this helps.

    Steven

    Oh…and i changed the properties on the display:column tags to match my contacts class. But i suppose you guessed that already.

    I’m trying to sort the data in the display table based on the column name.But the column name retrieved from the below code
    ParamEncoder pe = new ParamEncoder(view.getViewId());
    String sortColumnParam = pe.encodeParameterName(TableTagParameters.PARAMETER_SORT);
    String sortColumn = request.getParameter(sortColumnParam);
    That is the value of the sort column is Null. Please let me know hoe to resolve this issue

    Hi Viral,
    We are using Spring MVC with display tag to show lists in tabular form, my pagination works perfect, but for sorting we are using external sort property in display tag, and when we click on any column header in table, it’s always redirecting to page 1 after sort; when we are in page 1 that’s not the issue, but when we navigate to page 4 for example, its is redirecting to page1 after sort, I gone through the request and when we sort, the page number is not present in the request; could you please suggest me some solution to the above problem;
