For struts2 tags, checkout
https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-1569

The problem I have with displaytag is that in an effort to satisfy
everyone's needs, it is infinitely configurable. IMHO, that makes it
hard to figure out and hard to use. The other issue we had with display
tags is that with struts2, it isn't backed by a freemarker template.
Every other built-in tag in struts2 is backed by a freemarker template,
which is a much better solution to customization issue. In the simple
case, it will be simple, but it will also let you do the more
complicated scenerio.

your using spring.
