Thanks for your response.
I don't think that I can use h:dataTable for my
situation. We have pages that have JSTL ifs around
the rows so that the rows only show up sometimes based
on the data in the list. For instance, if I want an
<hr> tag when a control break occurs. I didn't want
to put smarts in the renderer to check the data in the
list that was specified. So if I could get the row
tag to work then I could use the standard rendered
attribute on the row for this. That makes the
component generic and simple, and yet makes the custom
tags powerful enough to produce any type of table that
needs to be generated.
In addition to the rows only being rendered sometimes,
what about multi line column headings? I couldn't get
that to work with the h:dataTable because the facet
tag didn't seem to want to render the second tag.
Not to mention that the dataTable tag doesn't support
rowspan and colspan which I need to emulate the tables
that we produce at work.
So I'd like to get the row tag to work if I can. If I
can't find a way around this then JSF is out for us.
I can't believe that there isn't a way to do this
somehow.
Thanks for your thoughts.
