I am interested to know the ‘best’ practice for navigating through long lists. At the moment we have implemented Struts-layout for this purpose. Our implementation currently retrieves the full dataset and uses Struts-layout sorting and navigation pager options to navigate through the results. However the drawback of this approach is in performance as our application will contain long lists.

I have read many articles and browsed many forums but haven’t yet been able to find a ‘best practice’ or ideal approach.
