Hi !

I would like to know as to how i can use <h:dataTable> to generate dynamic columns.

Yes...I have the same question!

you use "rich:dataTable" and "rich:columns" (or you ask on the apache myfaces forums where they'll tell you to use tomahawk and replace "rich:" with "t:")

By creating the whole table dynamically in your backing bean. there you can check how many columns you need and "fill" you table accordingly.
