Here is a solution, hard coded. One would just have to set up a backing bean
to create the header via the model at hand. I'm not sure why I hadn't tried
this earlier, I was look for wdgets vs generating the HTML myself.
<t:dataTable id="table2" value="#{testColspanBean.lines}" var="line"
rowClasses="standardTable_Row1,standardTable_Row2"
columnClasses="standardTable_Column,standardTable_ColumnCentered"
styleClass="standardTable"
headerClass="standardTable_Header"
footerClass="standardTable_Header" title="Title Row" >
<f:facet name="header">
<f:verbatim
escape="false">
<TR>
<TH colspan="5" class="standardTable_Header" align="center">Top
Hier</TH>
</TR>
<TR>
<TH colspan="3" class="standardTable_Header" align="center">Hier
1</TH>
<TH colspan="2" class="standardTable_Header" align="center">Hier
2</TH>
</TR>
</f:verbatim>
</f:facet>
<t:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<f:verbatim
escape="false">head 1</f:verbatim>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="footer">
<f:verbatim
escape="false">foot 1</f:verbatim>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText
value="#{line.col1}" />
</t:column>
<t:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<f:verbatim
escape="false">head 2</f:verbatim>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="footer">
<f:verbatim
escape="false">foot 2</f:verbatim>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText
value="#{line.col2}" />
</t:column>
<t:column >
<f:facet name="header">
<f:verbatim
escape="false">head 3</f:verbatim>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="footer">
<f:verbatim
escape="false">foot 3</f:verbatim>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText
value="#{line.col3}" />
</t:column>
<t:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<f:verbatim
escape="false">head 4</f:verbatim>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="footer">
<f:verbatim
escape="false">foot 4</f:verbatim>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText
value="#{line.col4}" />
</t:column>
<t:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<f:verbatim
escape="false">head 5</f:verbatim>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="footer">
<f:verbatim
escape="false">foot 5</f:verbatim>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText
value="#{line.col5}" />
</t:column>
</t:dataTable>
