JSP Display Tag library - October 22, 2003

Found this from Rick Ross's weblog: Display tag library to display data in HTML tables complete with paging, sorting, grouping with export to CSV and Excel support. Examples here. Just Awesome ! It reminds of seeing DHTML data bound tables in IE 4.x and not able to use it as it could not be done as easily for other browsers. No more.
