It depends on what you're trying to achieve.

<h:dataTable> 

displays a row for every entry in a SET or LIST.

<h:panelgrid columns=X>

arranges JSF components in a specified number of columns.

Welcome to the JavaRanch, Rama!

I guess the big question is, if you want to display a table, and there's a table display control, why do you feel like you need some other control to display the table?

Hi Tim,

thank you for the reply.

Let me give my requirement. I have a list field called state. for specific field selectd in that state list i need to display country field.like
state : list box select value(if user select some NY,display city ,other wise dont display city field)
city: inputtext box.

Data table I fell something which is to display dynamic data from database. but here state data is not dynamic it is the value selected on the same page.

I have pretty much tried to explain my issue.

Please post your ideas.

Thanks
Rama

That came out a little garbled in translation, but I think I understood. More or less.

You'd still use a dataTable, but in order to get the city/state/country controls to cascade, you have to provide some extra support in your backing bean. If you want a dropdown list of states for a selected country, for example, the dataModel for the dataTable has to include a column that provides a SelectItem list for the country indicated on the same row.
