Displaytags or ValueListHandler

["Shabada, Gnaneshwer" <sh...@toysrus.com>]

Hello all,

I have a requirement in my project to query and retrieve search results from
the database. I was doing some research and found DisplayTags
(http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/) and ValueListHandler
(http://valuelist.sourceforge.net/) tags. They both look same to me, infact
DisplayTags look more attractive. But am not sure what's the difference
between their architecture? Are they both same performance wise? Which one
would you guys recommend to work with Struts?

Thanks for your input

Gnan

We use displaytag and it is dynamite.  It is fast and has lots of
features.  I haven't written one single TABLE since discovering it.  It
even allows you to specify a message to display when the list is empty;
saves you from having to put that logic in the page.

ValueList looked a bit more complex to use and there was so much vocal
support in the community for displaytag that we went that route.
