How To Display Data in Columns Using Spring MVC and JSP?

I want to take some data from the database and arrange it into rows with each row having 4 columns. Tables or css come to mind. By the way, I do not need borders.

What's a clean way to do this? If I use tables, I would have to count how many cells have been done in a ro开发者_如何学JAVAw and in the last row add some empty cells to that row. Right? What is a better way?

I am using Spring MVC JSPs and looked at the associated docs. http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/spring-framework-reference/html/view.html

Thanks!

I think it answer your question completely.

I would suggest something like this:

<table id="list">
<thead class="dataTableHeader">
    <tr>
        <td><fmt:message key="items.header"/></td>
    </tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
    <c:if test="${fn:length(yourForm.items.count) < 4}">
        <tr>
            //add some empty rows
        </tr>
    </c:if>
        <c:forEach var="item" items="${yourForm.items}">
            <tr>
                <td>${item.id}</td>
                                    // and other colums
            </tr>
        </c:forEach>
</tbody>
