You should probably post your entire display tag code starting with <display:table name="fileList">.

It sounds like you want the column heading to function as a sort button when you click on it and for the data within that column to function as hyperlinks. I don't see why this should be a problem. When you add the sortabler="true" attribute to the "File Name" column it turns the column heading into a hyperlink? Really? What does it link to?

If the column heading does somehow become a hyperlink then you can try a creating a link from the row column data using a Table Decorator or the href attribute, both described here: display tag docs. I think either of these approaches results in a cleaner solution than what you have now.

  • What happens to the column heading when you use sortable="true" for that column? What does it link to? – Thorn Feb 18 '13 at 14:24
  • when i add sortable="true" it link to my servlet which i mention in c:url – user2083356 Feb 18 '13 at 14:36
  • What id and filename parameters are passed? I'm assuming row is your row variable referencing some FileObject. What value is row.filename when you are not on a row? – Thorn Feb 18 '13 at 14:39
