How to print data in h:dataTable by column wise

[Venkateswarlu Vadde]

I've Arraylist holding of Item objects, in that again one more Arraylist containing Item parameters

My problem is i want to display ItemParams side by side(column wise) not row by row(normal procedure)

Table looks like

ItemNoItemNameItemDescChange
---------------------------------------------------------
234Colgatetoothpastecheckbox
123Pepsodenttoothpastecheckbox

In above table ItemName having different params
colgate have 3params
peopsodent have 2 params

ItemParameters class(bean) containing fields of parameterValue(textBox in UI) and parameterDescription(textArea in UI)

So the total ItemName column looks like

ItemName
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Colgate
parameterValue parameterDescription,parameterValue parameterDescription,parameterValue parameterDescription

Pepsodent
parameterValue parameterDescription,parameterValue parameterDescription

Cibaca
parameterValue parameterDescription,parameterValue parameterDescription,parameterValue parameterDescription,parameterValue parameterDescription

Please help me
Thanks in advance

Not understood your problem exactly. Please paste the code of your item class and any classes it contain for parameters?

All are POJO classed only (having sets and gets)

i want to display ItemName(as shown above) column(with params) in main table( heading: Table looks like )

My question is how should i display params side by side(column wise)

because when your are having multiple objects, normally we put in h:column, so datatable can iterate and prints row by row

but I want this in column wise

paramValue1 paraDesc1, paramValue2,paraDesc2 etc.,

I guess try <t:dataList> if you are using MyFaces.
