Patch for detail row in t:dataTable
-----------------------------------

         Key: MYFACES-1064
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1064
     Project: MyFaces
        Type: New Feature
  Components: Tomahawk  
    Versions: Nightly    
    Reporter: Claudio Tasso


This is a patch which adds a new feature to t:dataTable.
This feature is inspired by Oracle ADF table, which has facet called 
"detailStamp".
A detail row can be associated to every row in the table, and each detail row 
has an expanded or collapsed state.
So, the user can collapse or expand the detail associated to a row. 
The content of the detail row is specified inside the "detailStamp" facet and 
the user can add a column to the table which is used for expanding or 
collapsing the detail row.
Here's an example of usage:

<t:dataTable varDetailToggler="toggler" value="#{testBean.persons}" var="item"> 
                              
           <%--  The Detail Column --%>
           <t:column>
               <f:facet name="header">
                   <h:outputText value="Details"/>
               </f:facet>
               <h:commandLink rendered="#{toggler.currentDetailExpanded}" 
action="#{toggler.toggleDetail}">
                   <h:graphicImage url="opened.gif" style="border: none;"/>
               </h:commandLink>
               <h:commandLink  rendered="#{!toggler.currentDetailExpanded}" 
action="#{toggler.toggleDetail}">
                   <h:graphicImage url="closed.gif" style="border: none;"/>
               </h:commandLink>
           </t:column>
          <%-- Other columns --%>
           <t:column>
               <f:facet name="header">
                   <h:outputText value="Name" />
               </f:facet>
               <h:outputText value="#{item.name}"></h:outputText>
           </t:column>
           <t:column>
               <f:facet name="header">
                   <h:outputText value="Surname" />
               </f:facet>
               <h:outputText value="#{item.surname}"></h:outputText>
           </t:column>
            <%-- The detail ROW --%>
          <f:facet name="detailStamp">
               <h:outputText value="The current detail..."/>
           </f:facet>
       </t:dataTable>

As you can see,  using the "varDetailToggler" attribute is possible 
expand/collapse the current detail row (using an action method) and obtaining 
the state of the current detail row in order to show different command links.
