I need to add a paging, sortable table to my GWT application.

I see lots of these out there so I'm looking for your experience to save me time by choosing the best one.

So far I'm looking at...

http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit-incubator/wiki/PagingScrollTableOld

I like the second one best. Any stories to tell?

A: 

It's already been answered here

And unfortunately there is no satisfying implementation available. The best approach i have found has the GWT widget library. I have used it to create my own paging solution.

I completely disagree that there is no suitable solution. You really need to check out GXT. I am using the Paging Grid implementation in my organization with great success.

This is true, but however this is no native GWT implementation, plus the Ext GWT library is not completly free (as it was some time ago)
Drejc
It depends on what you mean by 'free'. Just to clarify: GXT = ExtGWT, which is dual-licenced as GPLv3 or a commercial licence. It used to be MyGWT which was dual as well, but GLPL and commercial.

I have been using gwtlib [http://code.google.com/p/gwtlib/] its a nice expendable solution that uses the Controller Pattern, I have been using it in some personal projects.

A: 

I agree that GXT is the best solution, but, as i said before, it has a commercial license in this way any non open source project has to pay for it!

In the end I chose the incubator widget. It took a bit of work but it works well now. Thanks for the answers all

There's a new CellTable that has support for paging. It's in the GWT trunk right now and will, with any luck, make it into a 2.1 release later this year.
