DataTable - Best way use Rendering (if condition)

Question

Hello ,
I am new to jsf(come from the JSP/struts world).I have to display dataTables based on multiple conditions , if in JSTL I would have used a series of c:if conditions to display the same.
I was wondering how I could use the "rendered" as an if condition to check conditions (can I use "and" , "or" conditions using this..).Or is there a better way to do this ..
An example would go a long way in clearing my doubt .

The rendered attribute accepts a booleanvalue. This can be just a property or an outcome of one or more expressions.
Some basic examples:rendered="#{myBean.booleanValue}"
rendered="#{myBean.stringValue == 'value'}"
rendered="#{myBean.intValue > 10}"
rendered="#{myBean.objectValue == null}"
rendered="#{!empty myBean.collectionValue}"
rendered="#{myBean.stringValue != null && myBean.intValue == 1}"
rendered="#{myBean.stringValue != 'value' || !myBean.booleanValue}"
