You can use a decorator. Either create a TableDecorator and write a method with the same name as the method in your object that returns the List or create a ColumnDecorator and override the decorate method. You can then either iterate through the List to create a String of the contents or snip the brackets from the start and end of the toString() return value. <http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/11/tut_decorators.html> Ed! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
