Ok,
I've just looked through the patch. A few questions -
why do you specify the source of the image as a value-binding?
Couldn't that come from a parameter of dataTable?
Couldn't we - even better - instead of building the UI for the
expand/collapse column in the backend-source - build the UI in the
JSP-file via a facet, with that, we'd have a lot more flexibility on
what this column would look like?
(See the collapsible panel, datascroller or tree2 for an example of
how this works)
regards,
Martin
