with facelets or jsf 1.2 that can be done ;)
True, but why? Rendered seems to fit his needs perfectly. :)

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"/>
