Re: Truncating DataTable content
Just in case anybody is interested in the solution. I've extended ChoiceFilteredPropertyColumn (as that was the type of column I was using for my AjaxFallbackDefaultDataTable) and have overridden populateItem (which was originally implemented in PropertyColumn). In that method I both truncate the table data and add the PrototipBehavior that shows the tooltip.

Re: Truncating DataTable content
Thanks for the ideas, but the truncating itself is not the main problem. (I could easily truncate the data in the SortableDataProvider.) The main problem that requires met to dive deeply into the code is my requirement to also show the full data in a tooltip.
