Is it possible to replace the built-in inputText it's shonw in the table header by another component ? I got a date column and I would to use a rich:calendar instead of the inputText...
How do I do taht ?

You can use external filtering feature. This is an example how to use selectOneMenu:

<rich:column
 filterExpression="#{fn:containsIgnoreCase(cap.timeZone, filteringBean.filterZone)}">
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:selectOneMenu value="#{filteringBean.filterZone}">
 <f:selectItems value="#{filteringBean.filterZones}" />
 <a4j:support event="onchange" reRender="table" />
 </h:selectOneMenu>
 </f:facet>
 <h:outputText value="#{cap.timeZone}" />
 </rich:column>
