[eve_fang]

I trying to display my data in 2 columns using rich:columns, but i need the columns to display different data, Example:

column1 will display "index"

Can it be done using rich:columns or i have use rich:dataTable?

Hello,

Columns can't be used standalone, they're put into some iteration component like rich:dataTable or h:dataTable. RichFaces provides a number of iteration components; consider exploring livedemo site and DZone RefCard.

Ya i understand that. Im using the tag inside rich:dataTable.

Im using rich:columns because i can set the number of columns. I have pass a list to the columns and wish to display out in 2 columns. Im just wandering if i can get the list elements to display in different columns.

columns1 | columns2
list[1] | list[2]

can it be done?

so the items from list1 and list2 not refered one to another?

check the dataTable and dataGrid samples at our demosite.
