Are there any good J2EE value list handler pattern implementations?

Question

Are there any good value list handler implementations available?

I've found valuelist, but it seems to be stagnating... besides I really need good control of links the taglib generates, because I need to call some JavaScript from it.

Currently I solve it by rewriting the taglib in freemarker and using valuelist's backend.

Does anyone know a better way?

Core J2EE Patterns 2nd Edition recommends implementing this pattern using a wrapper for javax.sql.RowSet. The RowSet allows for a disconnected, scrollable ResultSet. Sun provides a tutorial for the RowSet in chapter 5 of the JDBC Tutorial.
