Displaying additional pagination info for a rich:dataTable

[scott.jones618]

I'm using a rich:dataTable and rich:dataScroller combination (Richfaces 4.0.0/Facelets).  I have a requirement to display something like the following alongside the pagination control: "1-20 of 45 Reports <<rich:dataScroller here>>".

Does anyone know how (or if it's possible) to get the total number of rows from a dataTable or the current page # of a dataScroller?

Thanks,

Scott

I got this to work by modifying my backing bean (let's call it "bean").  I added a "getNbrItems()" method and a "page" property.  I then set the "page" attr of the <rich:dataScroller> to "#{bean.page}". 

I then put the calculation in an <h:outputText> and set the "render" attribute of <rich:dataScroller> to the id of my outputText.

I wish there was a way to do this without modifying the backing bean but based on my digging around there doesn't appear to be.
