use in main.jsp <h:dataTable value="#{bean.list}" ...>
and in constructor of your backing bean "bean" popluate the propery "list" .
list can be any of these *types*:
- Arrays
- java.util.List
- java.sql.ResultSet
- javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.Result
JSF isn't an action based framework.
Btw. if you don't know how to define a backing bean, which is a normal
JvaBean, please go ahead and read some *introductions* ;-)
