put a value-binding attribute on the outputTexts in your dataTable, just like this:
<h:outputText value="#{entry.subject}" binding="#{eventsList.specializedOutputText}" />
in eventsList.specializedOutputText,
create a new Instance of SpecializedOutputText and return this.
class SpecializedOutputText should look like the following:
public class SpecializedOutputText extends HtmlOutputText
{
private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(SpecializedOutputText.class);
public void encodeEnd(FacesContext context) throws IOException
{
String username = CalendarFactoryFinder.getGUIContextFactory().getGUIContext().getUserName();
if(username!=null)
{
UIComponent grandParent = null;
if(getParent()!=null && (grandParent=getParent().getParent())!=null
&& grandParent instanceof HtmlDataTable)
{
HtmlDataTable table = (HtmlDataTable) grandParent;
Object data = "">
if(data instanceof CalendarEntry)
{
CalendarEntry entry = (CalendarEntry) data;
if(entry.contains(username))
{
this.setStyleClass("subject_Column_Private");
}
else
{
this.setStyleClass("subject_Column");
}
}
}
}
else
{
log.error("Could not retrieve username");
}
super.encodeEnd(context);
}
}
HTH!

hi, i know this is proably not a solution if richard manages to finish
the component, but is all ropes tear you could allways do it in plain
old _javascript_ in an onLoad function.
it would probably be the fastest, but if you have time, i would wait for
the component to do the work for you ;)
