I recommend you use a datatable (javascript kiddies name for it) or a
datagrid (flex/flash name for it). then you can toss XML or, if you
must, JSON. You'll have significantly more capabilities and better
look than a table (well, there is the "progressive" thing which turns
a table into a datatable and Struts also has datatable tag).

js: check out YUI datatable. very well documented and works great.

In about 2 hours you can write a servlet which given any Java object
array will kick out JSON for these. (XMl, e2x, your flavor). Hint: Use
reflection and find the getters.

Waht about webservice. CLick on object and tell IDE to make one. Kick
out XML complete with WSDL. Consume in flash or flex(compiles to
flash).

The datatables out there support paging but none support scrollable
result sets, caching, nor pre-fetching. AFAICT.

My $.02 on the issue,
