How to dynamically create table colums before the table is displayed

[rogergl]

Hi all,

I would like to know how I can dynamically create the columns before the extendedDataTable is displayed.

Comming from a PHP background my first guess would be to do something like:

<c:forEach items="#{controller.getColumnDescription}" var="cap">

    // create columns  

/c:forEach>

Is this the right way to do this ? Is there a better way to do this ?

Regards
