I have some JSF code that currently works (as shown below), and I need to modify it to conditionally suppress the display of certain rows of the table. I know how to conditionally suppress the display of a particular cell, but that seems to create an empty cell, while what I'm trying to do is to not display the row at all.

Any suggestions?

<h:dataTable styleClass="resultsTable" id="t1" value="#{r.common}" var="com" headerClass="headerBackgrnd" rowClasses="rowOdd, rowEven" columnClasses="leftAlign, rightAlign, leftAlign">
    <h:column>
        <h:outputText rendered="#{com.rendered}" styleClass="inputText" value="#{com.description}: " />
    </h:column>
    <h:column>
        <h:outputText styleClass="outputText" value="#{com.v1}" />
    </h:column>
    <h:column>
        <h:inputText styleClass="inputText" value="#{com.v2}" />
   </h:column>
</h:dataTable>

Basically, the line that says #{com.rendered} will conditionally display the contents of a single cell, producing an empty cell when com.rendered is false. But I want to skip an entire row of the display under certain conditions - how would I go about doing that?
