Richfaces ColumnGrouping Component For dynamic Columns/SubColumns

[amarshi mohanty]

hi ,
i need to implement column group functionality using rich:columnGroup component in richfaces.
but the column group comes dynamically , i.e the group and subgroups are from an .xml file which can have random order of group and subgroups.
but the columnGroup component requires fixed group/subgroups, which i checked in the demo.
is there anyway i can implement this dynamic column grouping feature , either from .java file side or in xhtml side.
please share your suggestions.


regards,
amarshi

You can do a lot with the RichFaces "columns" tag as far as dynamically defining columns, but the degree of complexity that you want may exceed what the RichFaces View Definition Language tags can provide. In which case, you'd need to bind the table's UIComponent to a backing bean and use backing bean logic to manually build up the structures you need.
