I was using a plugin previously for pagination that was jQuery paginate but since it was just limited to pagination I decided to switch to the one at http://datatables.net but when I apply it just like the tutorial says to it appears a line sayng that there is No data available in table, and that is Showing 0 to 0 of 0 entries here is my html and how Im trying to sort this out
<%@ include file="/template/jstl.jsp"%>
<html>
<title></title>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="${ctx}/js/jquery/jquery-1.7.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="${ctx}/js/jquery/jPaginate.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="${ctx}/js/jquery/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="${ctx}/js/jquery/jquery.dataTables.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="${ctx}/js/device/device.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="titulo">Lista de Dispositivos</div>
<table class="device" id="table_id">
<thead>
<tr>
<th >Nome</th>
<th >Código</th>
<th >Ações</th>
<th >Excluir</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<c:if test="${empty devices}">
<tr>
<td colspan="4" align="center">
Nenhum dispositivo encontrado</td>
</tr>
</c:if>
</tbody>
<tbody id="tableholder" class="classholder">
<c:forEach var="device" items="${devices}">
<tr>
<td><a href="<c:url value="/device/update/${device.id}"/>">${device.name}</a></td>
<td><a href="<c:url value="/device/update/${device.id}"/>">${device.code}</a></td>
<td><a href="<c:url value="/comandos/${device.id}"/>"><img src="${ctx}/images/comandos.png" alt="Comandos" title="Comandos"></a></td>
<td><a id="${device.id}" class="delete" href="#"><input type="submit" id="excluir_button" value="" title="Excluir" /></a></td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>

jQuery(document).ready(function () {
jQuery("#table_id").dataTable();
});
