Gridview like display for hibernate objects in Java?

Essentially what I am looking for is a good way to build a quick database interface. In my (limited) experience with ASP.net I've used a Gridview control for this task. However for this project I am going to be using Java.

Can anyone recommend a good way to set up a Gridview like control (with editable and sortable rows) in a Java web framework? I was leaning towards using Spring MVC, but I am not particular attached to any Java web framework.

My data is pulled from a database using Hibernate, so any control that could plug directly into that would be great.

+2 A:

Java Server Faces (JSF) has a dataTable component. If you combine that with a framework built on top of JSF such as IceFaces you will get sorting as well.

But if you're looking for a quick library to drop into a JSP, check out displayTag. Doesn't handle editing of the data (should be easy enough to write some code for this anyway) but will handle paging and sorting.

Not having alot of luck plugging Hibernate POJ's into display tag.

I've used Hibernate POJOs before with displayTag without problems. Are you sure it's the Hibernate POJOs which is causing problems?

Yeah it's not so much an issue with display tag, its that display tags bring to the surface an exception that usually stays buried in the logs when I do an html output of the POJO.

Tapestry 5 also has a grid view as well as good integration with Hibernate. This tutorial shows you the basics.

Thanks, I think I may give Phill suggests a try first as they look to be a little more light weight.
