I don't know what a nested:iterate tag is, but you might take a look at Tomahawk's dataList. This component iterates over a list of data, and (in simple mode) outputs no html itself. In effect, it's the customized renderer for the UIData component that encapsulates iteration for the standard table component except that it doesn't use column tags.
Re: Something similar to Struts nested:iterate tag?
Right, dataList is similar to that what you requested. Under [1] you'll find an example of that component [1] http://www.irian.at/myfaces/dataList.jsf On 4/4/06, Mike Kienenberger [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 4/2/06, Bjørn T Johansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does there exist something similar to nested:iterate tag in myfaces/jsf?
