Hi Frank, See my previous thread on this. There is a bug in the newspaper column that was not fixed yet. It does not read the binded value but only the numeric value you set, or else sets it to 1. I was told to write to JIRA but I saw that was already done. I am also waiting for that fix. Good luck,

The dataTable contains the same class as value. So I use the newspaper option to display the tabular data. My problem is that the tabular layout can change between each request which means that the table can have x columns and y rows depending on the layout. I thought that I can influence the number of columns by binding the newspaperColumns value to a function in the backing bean. However, this value will obviously only be read during the initialization of dataTable. If the number changes during further request, it has no influence on the number of columns. I have also tried to set preserveDataModel to false. With regards Frank Oellien -------------------------------------- This message, including attachments, is confidential and may be privileged.
