Name
<h:dataTable>
Synopsis
This action represents an instance of the
component
type registered with the type ID
javax.faces.HtmlDataTable (by default, an instance
of the javax.faces.component.html.HtmlDataTable
class), combined with a renderer registered with the renderer type ID
javax.faces.Table.
The component is rendered as an HTML <table>
element. UIColumn child components are responsible
for rendering the table columns. The columns can hold any type of
component, including input components and command components. The
value attribute value can be of any type, but the
primary model type is the
javax.faces.model.DataModel class (see Appendix B). A value of type Object[] is wrapped
automatically in an instance of ArrayDataModel, a
java.util.List in a
ListDataModel, a
javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.Result in a
ResultDataModel, a
java.sql.ResultSet in a
ResultSetDataModel, and any other type in a
ScalarDataModel.
Both the data table component and its column children may be equipped
with header and footer facets.
The table’s header facet is
rendered as one <th> element (with a
colspan attribute set to the number of children)
within a <tr> element, and column
header facets are rendered as
<th> elements within a separate
<tr> element. A
<thead> element encloses both header
<tr> elements. The footer
facets, if any, are rendered in a similar manner, but with
<td> elements instead of
<th> and a <tfoot>
element instead of the <thead> element. CSS style classes for the header and footer cells ...
