with facelets or jsf 1.2 that can be done ;)

That did the trick. And no more <c:xxx/> tags for me ;-)

Combining JSTL conditional tags (or loops) with JSF+JSP1.1 is a very bad
idea; it can result in very weird behaviour.


Instead, do:
   <t:dataTable rendered="#{searchResults.hits > 0}" ....>
   </t:dataTable>

   <t:outputText rendered="#{searchResults.hits == 0}"
      value="No results"/>

Regards,

Simon
