Not even in the API docs?
That IS strange!

So you are saying that these methods don't work:
http://itext.ugent.be/library/api/com/lowagie/text/Rectangle.html#setBorderWidthBottom(float)
http://itext.ugent.be/library/api/com/lowagie/text/Rectangle.html#setBorderWidthLeft(float)
http://itext.ugent.be/library/api/com/lowagie/text/Rectangle.html#setBorderWidthRight(float)
http://itext.ugent.be/library/api/com/lowagie/text/Rectangle.html#setBorderWidthTop(float)

Oh, now I understand: you don't grasp the method setBorder
that is explained in the book and the tutorial. How unfortunate
you didn't find any example with a line like this:
cell.setBorder(Rectangle.LEFT | Rectangle.TOP | Rectangle.RIGHT);

As explained in the section 'nested tables'
which is advised as the workaround for rowspan.

But otherwise you have done a great job reading the docs.

Sorry, I don't mean to be mean, but I hope you understand
that the way you phrase your question is rather offensive.
