How to rewrite JSF h:table into h:panelGrid

Question

I need a way to create editable table like this. I interested is it possible to use h:panelGrid to display and edit the data. From my previews post I saw that it's possible to simple JSF table, but is this possible with h:panelGrid?

<table> <ui:repeat var="elem" value="#{yourMB.yourDataList}"> <tr> <td>#{elem.userid}</td> <td> <h:outputText value="#{elem.name}" rendered="#{not elem.editable}" /> <h:inputText value="#{elem.name}" rendered="#{elem.editable}" /> </td> <td> <h:outputText value="#{elem.telephone}" rendered="#{not elem.editable}" /> <h:inputText value="#{elem.telephone}" rendered="#{elem.editable}" /> </td> <td> <h:commandLink value="Edit" rendered="#{not elem.editable}" action="#{yourMB.editAction(elem)}" /> </td> </tr> </ui:repeat> </table> <h:commandButton value="Save Changes" action="#{yourMB.saveAction}" />

The problem with trying to do it using h:panelGrid is that you can't iterate through a list inside it. h:panelGrid is more like a container where you arrange UI widgets, and ui:repeat and h:dataTable are the ones appropriate for iterating through a list/collection. — Elias Dorneles

Why exactly do you need h:panelGrid instead of h:dataTable? — BalusC

The answer to your concrete (and rhetorical) question is just "no" and already answered in a basic JSF book/tutorial or at least by just logically thinking. Is a bounty really needed for that? To better understand your strange question so that a better answer than just "no" can be posted, I have posted the above comment with a sensible contra-question which you never gave feedback on for some reason. What exactly do you want? — BalusC

You can try inplace component from primefaces primefaces.org/showcase-labs/ui/inplace.jsf — Guilherme Torres Castro

If you're trying to use JSF to loop over data and build up a table manually then you are really missing the boat with reference to its Component basis. — 8bitjunkie

The answer is "NO". Try to use h:dataTable instead of h:panelGrid.
