filtering and sorting controls 10Feb06

Greg Nudelman published an article about how to create easy-to-use filtering and sorting controls with java:

"Product search is the cornerstone of many Web applications. A user's ability to select what he or she is looking for among millions of search results can make or break the user experience. A cluttered search-results page that is missing the essential filtering and sorting controls squanders customer loyalty and bankrupts sales revenue. In this article, Greg Nudelman demonstrates how to create effective and easy-to-use search-results pages by providing sophisticated yet intuitive filtering and sorting controls. These controls can dramatically improve a search-results page's usability and allow your users to find what they need faster and easier. The solution is implemented by using a set of custom Java classes and Apache Velocity templates, but can be easily ported to JavaServer Pages or other Model-View-Controller solutions."
