ice:columns

The ice:columns tag displays row and column information from a backing bean DataModel in a table format. Data presentation can be controlled with the first and rows attributes. The first attribute specifies which row will start the table with 0 being the first row. The rows attribute specifies the number of rows to be rendered starting from the row specified in the first attribute. To include all the rows in the data model, set rows to 0. The default value for first and row attributes is 0.

Example

<ice:dataTable var="item" value="#{columnsBean.rowDataModel}" rows="10" columnClasses="columnsColumn">
  <ice:column>
    <f:facet name="header">
      <ice:outputText value="Hello" />
    </f:facet>
    <ice:outputText value="Bye" />
  </ice:column>
  <ice:columns value="#{columnsBean.columnDataModel}" var="column">
    <f:facet name="header">
      <ice:outputText value="#{column}" />
    </f:facet>
    <f:facet name="footer">
      <ice:outputText value="Footer" />
    </f:facet>
    <ice:outputText value="#{item}"/>        
  </ice:columns>
</ice:dataTable>
