What is the difference between rich: column and rich: columns

Question

Can someone tell me the difference between rich:column and rich:columns ?

Answer 1

You use rich:columns when you want to dynamically create columns

For instance:

 <rich:columns value="#{dataTableScrollerBean.columns}" var="columns" index="ind"> <f:facet name="header"> <h:outputText value="#{columns.header}" /> </f:facet> <h:outputText value="#{model[ind].model} " /> </rich:columns> 

when you use rich:column , when you just have a column in rich:dataTable

 <rich:column> <f:facet name="header"> <h:outputText value="Price" /> </f:facet> <h:outputText value="Price" /> </rich:column>
