ADF Faces: RichTable - How to create a RichTable object

Question

Hi. How to create a RichTable object to put in a JSF page ? I need to make a method that receive a list of name of columns and a list of list of data. This code that I have writing don't work. What's my error?
        public RichTable getADFTable(
        List<String> lstCols, List< List<String> > lstLstData
        RichColumn adfCol = null;
        List<RichColumn> lstRichCols = new ArrayList<RichColumn>();
        int cont = 0;
        for( String col : lstCols ){
            adfCol = new RichColumn();
            adfCol.setDisplayIndex(cont++);
            adfCol.setHeaderText( col );
            adfCol.setMinimumWidth( "60" );
            lstRichCols.add( adfCol );
        int contCols = 0;
        RichOutputText text = null;
        RichTable AdfTab = new RichTable();
        for( List<String> lstData : lstLstData){
            for( String data : lstData ){
                text = new RichOutputText();
                text.setValue(data);
                lstRichCols.get( contCols ).getChildren().add( text );
                contCols++;
            contCols = 0;
        AdfTab.setRows(this.lstEntit.size());
        cont = 0;
        for( RichColumn col : lstRichCols ){
            AdfTab.getChildren().add( col );
        return AdfTab;
    }

I was searching for an example and i found it but whit errors, finally i fixed and it works.
You just have to generate the data from your webservices and "put" into this structure.
The java file (Bean)
package view;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.CollectionModel;
import org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.SortableModel;
public class DynamicTable {
    private SortableModel model;
    private List<String> columnNames;
    public DynamicTable() {
        columnNames = new ArrayList<String>();
        columnNames.add("Col-1");
        columnNames.add("Col-2");
        generateColumnModel();
    public void generateColumnModel() {
        this.model = new SortableModel(createRows(columnNames));
    private List<Map> createRows(List<String> columnNames) {
        int i = 0;
        List<Map> mapListforRows = new ArrayList<Map>();
        for (String name : columnNames) {
            Map newRow = new HashMap();
            mapListforRows.add(newRow);
            for (String col : columnNames) {
                newRow.put(col, "data");
        return mapListforRows;
    // Get table model
    public CollectionModel getCollectionModel() {
        return model;
    public void setColumnNames(List<String> columnNames) {
        this.columnNames = columnNames;
    public List<String> getColumnNames() {
        return columnNames;
}The jspx file (page)
           <af:table varStatus="rowStat" summary="table"
                        value="#{pageFlowScope.DynamicTable.collectionModel}"
                        rows="#{pageFlowScope.DynamicTable.collectionModel.rowCount}"
                        rowSelection="none" contentDelivery="immediate"
                        var="row" rendered="true" id="t1">
                <af:forEach items="#{pageFlowScope.DynamicTable.columnNames}"
                            var="name">
                  <af:column sortable="true" sortProperty="#{name}"
                             rowHeader="unstyled" headerText="#{name}"
                             inlineStyle="width:100px;" id="c1">
                    <af:activeOutputText value="#{row[name]}" id="aot1"/>
                  </af:column>
                </af:forEach>
              </af:table>
