If you are a Java programmer, writing JSP pages for your web application and doesn't know much about JavaScript, jQuery, CSS, and HTML, then display tag is best for creating dynamic tables, pagination, sorting, and exporting data into PDF, Word and Excel format. Display tag is a JSP tag library, where code is written in Java but you can use them like HTML tags e.g. <display></display> . Though the display tag is an old library, I have always used it in JSP for displaying tabular data. It comes with sample CSS as well, which is good enough for many applications. Long time back, I have shared some display tag tips and examples, and many of my readers asked me to write about how to do pagination and sorting on the JSP page.

10 examples of displaytag in JSP, Struts and Spring
Display tag is one of the best free open source libraries for showing data in tabular format in a J2EE application using jsp, struts, or spring. it is shipped as a tag library so you can just include this in your jsp and add the corresponding jar and their dependency in class-path and you are ready to use it. The display tag is my favorite solution for displaying any tabular data because of its inherent capability in paging and sorting. It provides great support for pagination on its own but it also allows you to implement your own pagination solution. On the Sorting front, you can sort your data based on any column, implement default sorting, etc.
