JSF Datatables : How to handle columns with subtype specific content

I have a scenario where I have a list of objects that extend a common supertype. This list of objects is supplied to the h:datatable as it's value.

The last column in the table has inputs that are subtype-specific whereas all the other columns apply to fields found in the common superclass.

What is the most elegant way of rendering the subtype-specific fields ?

At the moment I am doing this:

<h:column>
  <c:if test="#{cover.cd eq 2}">
     //Markup specific to this subtype
  </c:if>
  <c:if test="#{cover.cd eq 3}">
     //Markup specific to this subtype
  </c:if>
</h:column>

How would you do this outside the datatable? Do it the same here.. – Kukeltje May 08 '17 at 06:55
Hi Kukeltjie, seems like this is the only way then... – Duran Wesley Harris May 08 '17 at 07:00
