Salut Volker,

(1) sorry to say this, but i need exactly an altering rendering
of different controls. My job is to bring an Excel-Sheet
into a web application, so -hello- the source (was) excel.

Finally, it is not a true table that needs to be transfered.
It is called a sheet, with a head, some groups of multiple-choice
questions, that may consist of radio or check boxes and/or
text fields, separated by some (sub) sections, that
last not least will span over some colums.
The layout of that sheet is data driven, somewhere in
two database tables (the definition) and some other 
the values. The contents of questions may vary from 
associated  context.

So what we did, we defined a couple (~~6) template
viewer, that define some viewer, that i have to switch-on/off
in dependency of the viewer-type, that is availiable for each row.



(2) Now to your argumentation:

not absolutly correct, cause each row does contain 
exactly the same content as the other rows. By using the
rendered attribute i only tell the presentation layer not to 
show theses elements on screen, but -in fact- they exist!!!

-finally this is my view, but not yours and you coded it!! -


(3) So maybe the tc:sheet is not the appropriate way for a viewer,
but ok, i am flexible. I decided to use a tc:sheet, cause it
give me a common layout for indentation, but maybe a facelet
could do this too.

The question is now, which kind of tag (or combination
of tags) could be useful, to implement the viewer.
If do remeber of a tc:forEach tag, but i also noticed,
that this tag is deprecated.
As a consequence of this, if need somewhat like a for loop,
that enrolls my List<ofLines> in the same way as your 
sheet you have done it. So coming back to the origin question,
can i combine JSTL with Tobago, and what would be a good
solution.

Would it be possible to enroll a list in a tc:box and use a
chosen over all of my possible views, containing tobago tags.
What would i need to do, in order to make this viewer
robust enough ?


Thank you
Groovie
