Ok, it sounds like dataTable might be the wrong tag for me.
I have Core JavaServer Faces, but I did not see how to do this.
I am basically trying to draw an NxM grid where the grid elements are custom
elements.
I tried panelGrid, but unless I misunderstand it can not take in a value or
list to iterate over.
So I tried to use a dataTable, and I was trying to access the nxm element.
That was why I was trying to bind the integer index, because I could not
find another way to get the nxm th element.
I can display my own object if I can get it bound in the right place.
So if in the display of the panel grid, I had a "item" that was bound to my
object when displaying I could do what I wanted.
So lets say that I have an object Person which has a name field.
So this is what I would want to do
<h:panelGrid columns="7" value="${pgb.personBinding}" var="p">
<h:outputText value="#{p.name}"/>
</h:panelGrid>
To display

Does that make sense?
It sounds like from this discussion that I am doing the wrong thing.
So what am I missing
Thanks

As you stated, row will indeed successively contain each of the
integers in weekList.
There's a number of ways to get at the current value of row, but you'd
need to tell us what you're hoping to accomplish before we can suggest
a method that will work best in your situation.
As Simon stated, you can always bind the UIData component to your
backing bean, and then call uiData.getRowData(). getRowIndex() will
only give you the table row, and not necessarily the value of your
current integer in the list.
