dt-Source

This is a taglib providing connection between Displaytag taglib and data sources, allowing to load partial lists from different sources, like Hibernate, JDBC, etc. Requires Spring framework. During the project growth, it's getting new functionality and features like filters, searches, etc. completely customizable with CSS. The most of the code was written by Olexiy Prokhorenko with some help from Olexandr Prokhorenko and later was donated to Open Source Community. We support this project free of charge but we welcome donations. :) Olexiy Prokhorenko, olexiy at prokhorenko dot us Olexandr Prokhorenko, olexandr at prokhorenko dot us
