JTable and JPA Pagination through custom TableModel

I really want to talk about JTable, Beans Binding and JPA pagination but I think I need to write about JTable and JPA pagination first. So I will take the Beans binding stuff in another post. By the way, choose wisely your JPA Provider/DB Provider combination, as some combinations will not give you any real paginations at all. For example, neither OpenJPA, Hibernate or TopLink/EclipseLink seems to support Apache Derby pagination (OFFSET/FETCH). The example here uses Derby and TopLink which is a bad example because the JPA pagination doesn’t get translated to SQL command for pagination. So if you really want proper pagination you should use other combination like Hibernate JPA/HSQLDB. ...
