BTW (and to save time...), yes, I already know that I can always break
into Java with:
<% tableBean.setColumnFormat = dataFormatBean; %>
The idea is to avoid Java coding so that my page building folks don't
have to know any java ;)

> <USEBEAN name="tableBean" type="com.mypackage.TableBean">
> <SETFROMBEAN BEANPROPERTY="columnFormat" VALUE="dateFormatBean">
