Hi, you have two options here, both of them imply not to render the
table when no results are returned:
#1 Use the attribute renderIfEmpty="true" of the t:dataTable [1]; then
use an h:outputText with the attribute rendered="#{empty
yourBean.yourData}"
#2 Use rendered="#{!empty yourBean.yourData} for the h:dataTable; and
then use the h:outputText with the attribute rendered="#{empty
yourBean.yourData}"
