Hi,
   Let's say that you are doing the username retrieval part in the custom controller. So create a value attribute say, UserName in the custom controller's context. Also create a value attribute of the same name in the view controller's context under the value node that is boind to the datasource property of the table and map the custom controller attribute to the view controller's attribute. The view context might look like:
-Root
--TableDataNode
---UserName
---... (other nodes)
   Once you have fetched the user name in the custom controller, use a code like:
wdContext.currentContextElement().setUserName(userNameStr);
Now in your view, create a table column to show the user name. Insert a textview as the cell editor and bind the
text property to, TableData.UserName.
