One common column in a jsf datatable

Question

I'm manipulating a dataTable in order to display a List of objects. In the first 4 columns it shows attributes related to the object such as año(year),etc.., as you can see in the image below. The thing is.., in the 5th,I want to insert in a one simple column, an image that is common to all the objects in the table. Is there a way to to this with jsf ?

Answer 1

In JSF without xxxFaces: <td rowspan="2">
In RichFaces: <rich:column rowspan="2">
In PrimeFaces: <p:column rowspan="2">
(Change 2 to proper number)

Answer 2

Maybe when you will use custom table tag with ui:repeat you could achieve what your are trying to do. eg

<table>
<ui:repeat var=... value=... varStatus="myVarStatus">
<tr>
  <td>.</td>
  <td>..</td>
  <td>...</td>
</tr>
</ui:repeat>

you could use this construction "#{myVarStatus.index}" to add proper collspan in right moment.

It is easy to do with richfaces rich:column tag.
