Pagination using a h_dataGrid and Hibernate

submited by krishnas on Fri Nov 16th, 2007

We have some queries that can potentially return a large set of data. The first pass at this put all of the data into HttpSession and allowed a non-standard h:dataGrid like component automatically do the pagination. This works fairly well for small results sets but not so well for larger result sets as it consumes too much memory and takes a while for the first page to load. (The fancy h:dataGrid like component also automatically does sorting.)
