A good introduction (or component) for paging with JSF
Can anybody suggest a good tutorial for breaking a large query result into several pages? What I need is an introduction to basics, but all the material I find in the net is about some evolved technical detail. I get a dataTable hooked to the query, but steps after are a mystery.
After struggling with installation of MyFaces and Tomahawk for several days now, a solution without them is preferred.

iceFaces has a nice pager component. (ice:dataPaginator)

if you want to narrow down to jsf ri, corejsf has a sample custom pager component. (chapter 12)
u can read the book for free at oreilly safari.

Thanks. I must take a look at it. Especially when there is a free commuity edition. But can't you use standard JSF sfuff?

Getting Tomahawk to work is the problem, not myFaces. Once you get past one exception, there is already a new one waiting...

sure u can. but there is no out of the box solution for paging.
as i told you, corejsf describes a way to handle it with jsf ri.

most likely you got some jars in your classpath tomahawk doesnt like
post some stacktrace if you want
There's a discussion of a pageable data model on the MyFaces wiki at http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/WorkingWithLargeTables. It seems to work fine for vanilla paging with Tomahawk and ADF, though sorting for ADF requires additional work and, of course, a database call to match.
