Have you looked at the component-binding feature?
with binding="#{xbackingBean.ycomponent}"
you can deliver a programmatically defined grid to your jsp - a small
jsp wrapper around it, and the thing is done...
For things like colspan you will need to extend the current grid and
write a custom component/renderer, as it does not have this ability
right now.

Martin
