Display tag library 2.0

This documentation is related to the displaytag 2.0 release (changelog).

Overview

The 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.

What can I do with it?

Actually the display tag library can just… display tables! Give it a list of objects and it will handle column display, sorting, paging, cropping, grouping, exporting, smart linking and decoration of a table in a customizable XHTML style.

The tables in the sample images below were generated from lists using the <display:table> tag:
