Thanks for the responses. I'll probably try the "styles to be set as properties " method. This way I don't have to hard code the stype name.

Another approach is also to use the context addressing feature of CSS by
surrounding the areas that need particular formatting with a separate CSS
class.
For example, you can do
<span class="dataset1">
<!-- the HTML code that uses class=even and class=odd goes here -->
</span>
and
<span class="dataset2">
<!-- other HTML code that uses class=even and class=odd goes here -->
</span>
You can then define the styles in the following way:
.dataset1 .even { ... }
.dataset1 .odd { ... }
.dataset2 .even { ... }
.dataset2 .odd { ... }
In other words, even if you use a bean emitting even/odd, you can still
define different appearances at different places using CSS -- the fixed
class names are not a severe limitation.
Of course, if you want the names to be different, modifying EvenOdd to allow
the styles to be set as properties and then using <set-property> or
<set-string-property> in the specification (see doc on helper beans) is
certainly an option.

Create a version of EvenOdd where you can specify the CSS class names in
place of the default "even" and "odd".
The point of helper beans is that they are tiny, easy and self-contained.
We're talking 18 lines of code here!
