how to get fixed results using JPA
Hi
I have a table with lot of rows, when I querry, it is taking a lot of time and I am displaying that many rows in UI in single table. So it is not scaling well.
SO I am planing to show x number of row in on page. So for that to achieve, how do I querry the db (derby) using JPA to get first 25 rows, next 25 rows...
I appricate any help
thanks

i think you can have a serial number column in your table and you keep track of that serial number. I mean pass it to your method along with the size of page. Lets say if the number starts from 0 then you can calculate the first page using starting number + page size, if your page size is 25 then you will get 0+25 =25 and you can use the result to query from database like;
select * from myTable where rowNo<=25
You can store this number (Now 25) in user's session and pass it to the method.

in that case u need to set setFirstResult() and then setMaxReults() to the page size.
supppose u have 100 entries and u want only twenty five
in the first request:
setFirstResult(0);
setMaxResults(25);
in the second request:
setFirstResult(25);
setMaxResults(25); //Need to have this pagination logic in UI side
I think this will solve your problem
