Java Paging Problem

[82rathi.angara]

Hi,
I am in web application Java programmer. I am working on paging in catalog page.

my requirement is:

if our current page 5 and total page 9 than paging:

example: 1....4 5 6 ......9

there some point to doing logic:
1. Always First page and last page is seen. no repeatation.
2. there is no previous button and next button.
3. If there is current page is going on ,than it's previous page number and next page number must be come.
4. If there second last page number is seen than it will be come with last page number.

like : if current page is 7 and total page is 9 :
than 1...6789
5. If there second page number is seen than it will be come with first number.

like: if current page = 2 than
123....9
if current page is 3 than
1234....9

So give me logic and solution.

List, read about Java Collections. Possibly may be Set, probably is List datatype.

like: if current page = 2 than
123....9
if current page is 3 than
1234....9

What does this mean? If current page is 2 then ....
Do you want to print out: 123....9?
if(currPage == 2)
System.out.println("123....9")
else if (currPage ==3)
System.out.println("1234....9")

What is your program supposed to do?
Is this a string creation/manipulation problem? Given digits start, end and current, create a string with the start and end and current digits plus the digits on both sides of current with ... for gaps.

Write a loop to generate the output string with the above logic to test when to add a digit and when to add ...
