Suppose you've got 1000 records in a requestScope list or map called data: <display:table name="data" scope="request" id="record"> <display:column title="Title 1" property="property1"/> </display:table> and so on... There's a manual also. And you can provide the size of the page, the styles, an url to lin on each column. You can render a column by yourself or make it to autolink if the column is an url or emailaddress...
