Rowspan and h:datatable

Question

Hi,
I've a little problem with datatable,
I want to make table like this
A |________
|________
|________
___|________
B |________
|________
|________
___|________
How to do this table using h:datatable.
I think, that I must use h:datatable within h:datatable, but it's difficult.
Is there any simple way, or better to wait for JSF2.0?
Thanks

Answer 1

I've tried to get correct working nested datatable
with commandbutton in innertable.
To view nested table are good, but events in don't
work correctly.UICommand elements in datatables are tricky. Keep in mind that the data should be available all the time, during all JSF phases, so that JSF knows which row was involved in the ActionEvent. A simple prove: if the managed bean which takes care of the data is set in request scope, change it to session scope. Big chance that it should work.
Does anybody know, how to get simple walkaround in
this problem, or it's better to use 1 table, delete
unnecessary data or/and try to make rowspan?
Thanks for help:)Deleting unnecessary data so that you get empty cells in the right rows is easy to implement. Just compare with the former row in a loop. If you want to create rowspans, then go for another datatable component, like I mentioned earlier. Tomahawk or RISB.
