You can check out Tim's latest updates to the display tag and get the latest jar and source code here: http://timgolden.com/taglib/
Both of us have tried also to get a hold of Ed for a long time now and I think he's disappeared:) Anyway he started some great work which is easy to build upon. Tim added some very useful changes that you can find on the site above. I believe he also added the minor change I made that lets you add an array of columns to display. This comes in handy since, no the logic tag does not work within the display tag. For an example of adding custom columns: <display:table name="foo" columnNames="arrayOfColumnNamesInScope" > The columNames array needs to match the names of the actually column Name headers NOT the field names. (That should probably be changed or allowed as a different option to use either the column name headers or the actual bean field names). Easy to just set this "columnsName" array in request scope in your action.
