Render jsf data table as it is populated with data

Question

I have a data table with binded to a large list. I want to render the data table as that list is fetched, instead of waiting for the entire list to be fetched.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

That's not directly possible in standard JSF implementation. I'd look for the solution in another corner: introduce pagination so that you don't need to wait for zillion of records being fetched, but just only ten, twenty or so. It'll be fetched much faster. That's also what decent sites like Google are doing.
