if you are looking for the real Pagination aspects, you need to better do a google search for the same.

Say, "JSP + Pagination" will do. There are some good opensource components for Pagination which you can customize it according to your needs.

Ultimately it deals with a Bean Component for the first,last,prev,next values being clicked and the logic to adjust the values when each button is clicked. But the most important thing is how and when you fetch the data from the database and where you keep them. [caching].

Good luck!
