columnGroup does not work in the extendedDataTable header.

[hantsy]

I tried to port my application(Richfaces 3.3.3.Final) to Richfaces 4.1CR1, all columnGroup in the header facet of the extendedDataTable did not worked.

Is this a bug ?

Any help is appreciated.

We are having the same issue.

Is this bug the root cause of this comment in the documentation?

Similarly, complex row and column spanning using the breakRowBefore, colSpan, and rowSpanattributes is also not available with the <rich:extendedDataTable> component.

When building tables, we unfortunately have to choose between features in the data table such as complex headers, and features in the extended data table, such as fixed columns or rows when scrolling.  It would be great to have both.
