JSF datatable

[Andy Holm]

I am trying to output a different value for one row in my dataTable. I believe I need to access the data table's row index to accomplish this. The following outputs the right row number but the if test always fails because ${row} = -1. Any ideas how I can do what I want to?

    
<c:set var="row" value="#{Request_Creation_Backing.dataTable.rowIndex}" />
<h:outputText value="#{row}" />
<c:if test="${row == 0}">
     <h:outputText value="Hi" />
</c:if>

JSTL isn't going to work here. It runs before JSF runs.

Just use the rendered attribute.

<h:dataTable binding="#{bean.table}">
    <h:column>
        <h:outputText value="Hi" rendered="#{bean.table.rowIndex == 0}" />
