    Default Implement paging when having an underlying servlet controller

    Here is the jsp code :

    <table id="productTable">
     
            <c:forEach var="product" items="${categoryProducts}" varStatus="iter">
     
                <tr class="${((iter.index % 2) == 0) ? 'lightBlue' : 'white'}">
                    <td>
                        <img src="${initParam.productImagePath}${product.name}.png"
                             alt="${product.name}">
                    </td>
     
                    <td>
                        ${product.name}
                        <br>
                        <span class="smallText">${product.description}</span>
                    </td>
     
                    <td>&euro; ${product.price}</td>
     
                    <td>
                        <form action="addToCart" method="post">
                            <input type="hidden"
                                   name="productId"
                                   value="${product.id}">
                            <input type="submit"
                                   name="submit"
                                   value="add to cart">
                        </form>
                    </td>
                </tr>
     
            </c:forEach>
     
        </table>

    and here is the underlying controller servlet :

    /*

    Default Re: Implement paging when having an underlying servlet controller

    How can I add paging to this page?
    Questions like this are very difficult to answer. First, you need to define 'paging'. Second, there are probably hundreds of ways to do what you wish - asking 'how do I do this' rarely leads to a productive discussion. Third, did you make an effort to try to do 'paging'...did you search the web? Lastly, I recommend reading the following link: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
