I’m using displaytag to build tables with data from my db. This works well if the requested list isn’t that big but if the list size grows over 2500 entries, fetching the result list takes very long (more than 5 min.). I was wondering if this behavior is normal.
How you handle big list / queries which return big results?
This article links to an example app of how to go about solving the problem. Displaytag expects to be passed a full dataset to create paging links and handle sorting. This kind of breaks the idea of paging externally on the data and fetching only those rows that are asked for (as the user pages to them). The project linked in the article describes how to go about setting this type of thing up.
If you’re working with a large database, you could also have a problem executing your query. I assume you have ruled this out. If not, you have the SQL as mentioned earlier – I would run it through the DB2 query analyzer to see if there are any DB bottlenecks. The next step up the chain is to run a test of the Hibernate/DAO call in a unit test without displaytag in the mix. Again, from how you’ve worded things, it sounds like you’ve already done this.
