This is a documentation issue, based on my experience as a very new user of jmesa.

I started noticing after a while that there seems to be two different ways of building the view: taglib or api. I thought there must be some documentation that helps me decide which to choose. I could not find one so I thought, well they are probably more or less equivalent then so I decided for taglib which seemed to be more consistent with MVC. I built my view using the taglib then when I was going to implement the AJAX call I see in

https://code.google.com/p/jmesa/wiki/AjaxTutorialV3

"Also keep in mind that when using AJAX you have to use the API to build your table. There is no support for using AJAX when using the tag library. "

Which means I need to change to the api, well no big issue, but my point is that some more obvious documentation on the different methods would probably be a good thing.

I see your point. In general I think JMesa is pretty easy to use, but there is a learning curve. 

If you were inclined to write up some sort of tutorial or article aimed at new users (based on your experience) I would post it on the site!
