Replacing DisplayTag

I have been involved in an Intranet application for a big SCM client for around 2 years now. This application is being build on JBoss with Struts 1.1. Since the days of its prototype, DisplayTag has been used for the Grid type functionality. There are a couple of screens which require Grid. Some of the Grids are editable as well. Moreover, there are various complex scenarios attached with them e.g. pressing escape should bring revert the changes done to selected row or tabbing off the row should result in saving of the row among others.
However, now, we are replacing Display Tag with a Grid Applet. The reason being that it is slow to render pages (through pagination).
So, do you have a view here. Any suggestions which applets can be considered?

I started a project a while back that builds html tables with a Java API or through a Tag library. The project is called JMesa.

The next release is going to have an editable grid view. I have the UML class diagrams done and just need to finish spec'ing it out before I begin coding. The feature may take a couple months to get completed and production ready...although I hope to have things working in a few weeks. Editable grids with JMesa will be quite natural.

Thanks @Rajneesh for posting this blogpost and @Jeff for pointing me to the relavant JMesa project. This is exactly we need in our intranet project.

Installing Bugzilla on Windows

Bugzilla is the Bugs/Issues Tracking Tool from The Mozilla Organization. Version 2.18 is the latest stable release. There are couple of resources which guide a User installing Bugzilla on a Unix/linux machine. However, this entry describes a way to install Bugzilla on a Windows machine (W2K to be precise). This document guides you step by step through the installation process. First, get Administrative access to the machine on which you want to install Bugzilla. It should be a simple step. Usually, Users are given Administrative rights on Windows machine. However, if you dont have, contact your Administrator. Get Bugzilla Then download the Bugzilla from http://bugzilla.org/download.html . There are two ways of gettng it - through CVS or direct downloading the tar file. Remember there are no Zip files. However, any zip utility should be able to untar the Bugzilla. I download the tar file and untarred it using WinZip. I placed the untarred 'bugzilla' directory in my c: drive. So...

What are the different type of JDBC drivers?

There are four types of JDBC database driver: The JDBC/ODBC bridge driver (Type 1) A piece of native C-code that translates a JDBC call to an ODBC call. Use this driver for development, not for industrial-strength application environments. Note that you have to have an ODBC database driver manager + an ODBC database driver installed on the server in addition to the JDBC/ODBC bridge. Though useful for learning JDBC and quick testing, bridging solutions are rarely appropriate for production environments. Native API partly java driver (Type 2) A piece of native C-code that translates a java JDBC call to a native database call level API. Use this driver for development and deployment. Due to its native code, this driver can only be used by Java Applications with full computer access (i.e. not Applets). Type 2 drivers generally provide the best performance, but they require the installation of native libraries on clients that need to access the database. Applications using Type 2 drivers ...
