Yes, doing the same thing. Some columns requires a different background color and most of them have something different. So, it results in a lot of if statements to check the column.
Looking desperately for a good solution.

If somebody has a good solution for this, would help....

The jsp iterates over a collections of this business object and displays them. The user does not want to see all the 20 attributes. Different users may want to see different attributes. This requirement is similar to what outlook provides, the user can select the columns of his inbox. Have build a separate UI to get from the user the different columns he wants to see and store them in the database. The jsp which iterates over the business object, looks untidy now, with a lot of if/else statements. If anyone else have designed something like this, please provide your suggestions.
