Have a look at the external sorting and pagination page[1] on the DisplayTag site. Also, take a look at the PaginatedList interface[2].

It takes a little bit to get your head around it.

If you get stuck, the displaytag lists are pretty good at helping with the common issues.

jim,

I found this example

http://displaytag.homeip.net/displaytag-examples-1.2/example-paging.jsp?d-49653-p=1

it says "Ok, you have made a query that returns you back a list of 120
elements, but you don't want to show the user all 120 items at once, you want to allow them to page through the results (pretend 120 is really 1200
or 12000)."

they are iterating through a long 12000 record list and then just putting that into pages. What I was looking for was something that would show 50 results of 12000 on first page then when NEXT is cliked, it against goes to
DB to get next 50 records.

I found this within thirty seconds of clicking Dave's link:

Note that the contents of this page are actually fairly freakin' horrible and should not be done on a grownup application. But the instructions are
right there and easy to find.

I wanted to use it for the purpose so that when I click NEXT or 2nd page
then again I go to the DB to fetch next set of 50 records.

but didnt see any examples of that sort
