dataTable headers

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to display headers of headers in a dataTable. Each column have its own header, but I want to put "super header" to group columns that display the same kind of informations.
Is there a simple way to do that ? I tried it many ways but they are not good looking.
 
Thx in advance
Clément.

Re: dataTable headers

I´m missing this too but I suggest you to write a special renderer 
(datatable) for that.

Just a fast thought, how about that one (nested columns):

<x:datatable ...>
   <h:column>
     <f:facet name="header">
       <h:outputText value="Super Column Header"/>
     </f:facet>
     <f:facet name="footer">
       <h:outputText value="Super Column Footer"/>
     </f:facet>
     <h:column>
       <f:facet name="header">
         <h:outputText value="Header1"/>
       </f:facet>
       <f:facet name="footer">
         <h:outputText value="Footer1"/>
       </f:facet>
       <h:outputText value="Content1"/>
     </h:column>
     <h:column>
       <f:facet name="header">
         <h:outputText value="Header2"/>
       </f:facet>
       <f:facet name="footer">
         <h:outputText value="Footer2"/>
       </f:facet>
       <h:outputText value="Content2"/>
     </h:column>
     <!-- allow content here ? If yes how can it be rendered? -->
   </h:column>
   <h:column>
     <f:facet name="header">
       <h:outputText value="Header"/>
     </f:facet>
     <f:facet name="footer">
       <h:outputText value="Footer"/>
     </f:facet>
     <h:outputText value="Content"/>
   </h:column>
   ...
</x:datatable>

will render like this:

|Super Column Header|Header |
|-------------------|       |
|Header1 |Header2   |       |
|--------|----------|-------|
|Content1|Content2  |Content|
|--------|----------|-------|
|Footer1 |Footer2   |Footer |
|-------------------|       |
|Super Column Footer|       |

I would like to do that but I haven´t the time right now.

Regards,

Mathias
