There is no ideal approach, but in the jsf world probably using the jsf-html which can be obtained in conjunction with some client side componentization library is a viable approach of having full control without having to mess with verbatim in and out. You do not have to forget, that JSF is much more than a html mvc tech it is built as a general purpose library for server side rendered user interfaces with strong emphasis on componentization. So if you want to have full control over high level components like datatable, you simply will only get it to the degree, the component allows it. But nothing prevents you from adding another library which can provide the functionality you need explicetly for html or from using verbatim. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
